Thrilling Win Sends Chicago to Next Round Wednesday, October 3rd , 2012 The Chicago White Sox were counting on Josh Outman to put forward a strong performance in the Wild Card Round at U.S. Cellular Field. He certainly delivered. With a solid 7 innings, Outman earned MVP honors as his team beat the Kansas City Royals 6-0 to advance to the Divisional Series. "I tried to just think of it as any other game," said the Chicago starter. "But if we lose, we go home and I'd be lying if I said that didn't keep crossing my mind. That's motivation, for sure." Outman also had 8 strikeouts, while allowing 3 hits, 1 walk and no runs. While he wasn't willing to concede that the White Sox are a superior team overall, Kansas City manager Kevin Mitchell gave credit to Chicago for putting their best foot forward in a one-game format. "They beat us straight up, that's all there is to it," he said. The Chicago White Sox will play against the Detroit Tigers in the next round. Detroit had a bye in the Wild Card Round. The Divisional Series schedule will be announced after the Wild Card Round finishes. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
