The Chicago Walk-Offs. Has a nice ring to it, no?

It certainly is a fitting moniker, after all, given that the boys from the South Side enjoyed two walk-off victories Sunday afternoon, sinking the Detroit Tigers in the bottom of the ninth of Saturday's suspended game on an Adam Eaton single before walking off the Tigers in the series finale a few hours later, too.

Though the White Sox cruised for most of the nightcap, David Robertson imploded in the top of the ninth, serving up three home runs en route to his fourth blown save of the year. His foibles didn't matter in the end, though, as the White Sox hitters picked up their closer in the bottom of the ninth, with Melky Cabrera plating Eaton on a two-out single to left that propelled Chicago to a 5-4 win and their second walk off in a four-hour span.

"Baseball is funny like that," Eaton told MLB.com. "It will beat you down, but then it will build you back up. It's a love-hate relationship, for sure. To have two walk-off wins, especially to get two wins off a great opponent like Detroit, and for them to be walk offs, is huge for us."
