Left-hander Tyler Alexander was prepared to start the 11th inning Saturday as the automatic runner on second base because he was the last White Sox hitter in the 10th after a flurry of pinch hitters and lineup maneuvering. According to MLB.com, “If the player in the batting order immediately preceding that half-inning’s leadoff hitter is the pitcher, the runner placed on second base at the start of that half-inning may be the player preceding the pitcher in the batting order.”
