The superstar center fielder made plays in the field, at the plate and on the basepaths.
Three innings later, Robert finally got to Mariners rookie Matt Brash, who had White Sox hitters off balance all day with his filthy offspeed stuff. Robert blasted a solo homer to give the White Sox a one-run lead, in what was shaping up to be a low-scoring affair.
“The craziest part was, I don't think the home run was even hit as hard as the line drive to the shortstop,” said Liam Hendriks. “And that’s ridiculous. That he has that much talent, it’s a joke. He does everything well, and not only does he do it well, but he actually shows up to the field early, he does everything the right way, as well.”
But he wasn’t done yet. After drawing a walk to start the eighth inning, Robert stole second, and then stole third to get into scoring position. By moving up two bases, Robert was able to make it home on an Eloy Jiménez fielder’s choice, scoring what proved to be the game-winning run. “What he did today, you definitely don’t see that every day,” said Tim Anderson. “I think that shows how special he is, and how special he can really be.”
While Robert’s teammates raved about him, a performance like this could be considered ordinary for him. We’ve come to expect Robert to make the highlight-reel catch, or to come up with the clutch hit when the team needs it.
