“It was a game where the White Sox had no chance against the pitching of Houston. The Houston Astros might come up again for the Chicago White Sox at some point.

One thing people forgot was that the loss ended a five-game winning for the White Sox team that is the best in the American League.”
“1960 In a game at Comiskey Park, Luis Aparicio got an inside-the-park home run in the fourth inning off of Boston’s Frank Sullivan. He is the all-time White Sox leader in this obscure category. With the White Sox in the middle of the worst season in franchise history, only 18,587 showed up on a rainy day for the doubleheader with Baltimore. The Sox won the game, 6-0.”

Yoán Moncada went deep for the first time this season while batting right-handed and broke a streak of 117 plate appearances without clearing the fences. But that’s why there are two halves,” said White Sox reliever Michael Kopech, who threw a perfect eighth on Sunday.”
“Carrillo retired the first six men of the game before getting into some trouble in the third after a leadoff double and a one-out walk put two on. Ashcraft has gone at least five innings with no earned runs in four of his first five starts since earning a promotion to Double-A on June 23, giving him a 2.33 ERA and a .156 BAA with 27 strikeouts in 27 innings. 23), Low-A Lakeland After finishing a triple shy of the cycle last night, Quintana followed up his 3-for-3 performance by homering for the second game in a row and driving in three runs on a 2-for-4 day at the dish.
