Chicago White Sox rookie Sam Antonacci delivered the walk-off winner Monday night and used his postgame interview to show why the AL Central leaders are working so well together.
"We're just trying to keep the train moving."

"Yeah, it's a team sport. If you're mad about giving up two runs in the ninth, take your ass to go play tennis or play an individual sport," Antonacci said when asked how the White Sox continue to find ways to fight back. "This is a team sport. We've got each guys' back, and we're just trying to keep the train moving."
After right-hander Seranthony Domínguez allowed two runs on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning for the blown save, the White Sox were able to battle back in the bottom of the frame. Antonacci's first career walk-off hit then served as the punctuation in the 6-5 victory over the Cleveland Guardians.
The White Sox remain one of the most surprising teams in MLB this year, leading their division with a 40-37 record following three consecutive 100-loss campaigns. The Guardians are 41-38 and effectively tied for the lead, though Chicago has a better win percentage with two games in hand.
Antonacci, 23, has been a big part of the White Sox success, hitting .287/.386/.421 with four homers and nine steals over 58 games since making his MLB debut in April.
