Shortstop Tim Anderson returned to the White Sox lineup after an injury scare on Thursday night, and immediately made an impact in Saturday night’s 4-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

Anderson got the offense started with a leadoff double in the bottom of the 1st inning, and came around to score the very next AB on a Melky Cabrera double.

This game had a little bit of everything for the South Siders, who played solid all-around to even up the weekend series with the AL East-leading Orioles. Strong starting pitching, three clutch shutout innings from the bullpen, and even a bizarre instant replay review late in the contest helped propel the White Sox to victory.

With the bases loaded in the bottom of the 7th, catcher Omar Narvaez hit a shallow pop up (a Kansas City special, if you will) behind third base. The ball dropped to the ground as Manny Machado came up a bit short on a diving effort, but the play was called foul. After a lengthy review, the call was overturned, giving the White Sox a 3-2 lead.

Although the next three White Sox batters struck out and they failed to score another run with the bases loaded, that go-ahead run was all they would need. Adam Eaton (who batted third in tonight’s lineup) provided some insurance with a solo home run to lead off the 9th inning, and David Robertson shut the door to end the game.

While Nate Jones would end up getting the win, starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was the real star of tonight’s game, bouncing back from a disappointing outing in his last start after a stint on the disabled list. Rodon threw 6 innings on his way to a quality start, striking out 7 and giving up just 2 runs (one of which was unearned following an error by Tim Anderson).

Outside of Anderson’s error, the White Sox defense was solid most of the game. Todd Frazier stood out in the field, as his nifty footwork to dodge a broken bat in the 2nd turned into a fantastic play to end the inning.

Following tonight’s victory, James Shields and the White Sox will look to take the rubber match of the series Sunday afternoon at 1:10 p.m.
