Talk about Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. The Astros seemed poised this week to not only beat them in a series, but also eventually leapfrog them into the two seed. Astros 6. White Sox 2. It took more than a month, but finally, Houston has won a series at home. You’d be hard […]
Earlier this week, the White Sox designated left-hander Tyler Gilbert for assignment to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Tommy Pham. Gilbert went unclaimed on waivers, and today, Chicago sent him outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Having been outrighted twice before in his career, he had the right to reject the assignment, but […]
The good thing about this week’s series in the land of the Crawford Boxes and the choo-choo is that both Sean Burke and Davis Martin pitched extremely well, a big turnaround from their recent starts and a good sign for the stretch run. The bad thing — well, besides nearly the entire offense — is […]
Luis Castillo attempt to help the White Sox salvage a split looked good early. Or at least through two batters. But after a pair of strikeouts, Castillo lost a 10-pitch battle to Isaac Paredes with a two-out walk, then watched Jose Altuve send a head-high fastball over the Crawford Boxes for a 2-0 hole that better summed up the innings that lay ahead.

Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable dropped honest takes after his team fell to the Houston Astros by a score of 2-0 thanks to an eyebrow-raising eighth inning. Head-scratching decisions in the eighth inning of a scoreless game cost the Chicago White Sox a pivotal matchup against the Houston Astros in the 2026 MLB season.

Here's a Twins news roundup as Minnesota prepares for a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
There are frustrating losses, and then there is whatever the White Sox subjected us to on Wednesday night. Chicago wasted nearly every opportunity it received, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and handed Houston the only two runs it needed in a maddening 2-0 defeat. The lone silver lining came elsewhere, as Cleveland also […]
Thank goodness for the Blue Jays. Their 11-0 blanking of the Cleveland Guardians was in the books halfway through this one, which will make it a little easier for the White Sox to sleep tonight after suffering vapor lock in both halves of the eighth inning. In the top of it, they had runners on the corners with nobody out, and bases loaded with one out, and couldn't convert on either. In the bottom half, a Chase Meidroth error-turned-hometown-single forced Sean Newcomb to record four outs, a...
At this rate, Nelson Velazquez might just become “Mr. September”. For the second time this week, he’d come through in a major way. Astros 2 White Sox 0.
