Home-plate umpire Doug Eddings had a brutal showing in the Chicago White Sox’s win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.
The Blue Jays were on the wrong end of two of his three most impactful bad calls. The biggest missed call of the night by run expectancy impact came in the top of the eighth, when Eddings rang up Santiago Espinal on a 3-2 count with the bases loaded. Toronto should have scored at least one more run, but instead, the top half of the frame ended on the strikeout.
The Blue Jays could have used that extra insurance run too, as Chicago rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth to force extras. Eddings' second-biggest missed call was at the expense of the Sox in the bottom of the 12th. Facing a full count with one out, Reese McGuire was rung up on a pitch that should have been ball-four.
But Chicago was able to overcome the bad call, with Josh Harrison recording the game-winning RBI single in the next at-bat.
