Immediately after the White Sox tied the game in the top half of the fifth inning, Chad Pinder responded. In the pivotal moment, Pinder laced a single past a diving Tim Anderson to hand a 6-4 lead over to the Oakland Athletics bullpen. The clutch hit proved to be the difference in the game, as the Oakland Athletics cruised to a 6-4 win and an ALDS matchup with the division-rival Houston Astros.
