Today in White Sox History: July 3
1901 With a 4-3 win in 11 innings at Cleveland, the White Sox won their 10th straight game, which remains one of only 15 double-figure win streaks in franchise history. The club was swept in an Independence Day doubleheader the next day. In this, their first year in the major leagues, the White Sox won […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 2, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 8, Charlotte Knights 6The Knights (45-39) let a three-run lead slip away after surrendering five unanswered runs late in the game. David Sandlin got tagged for a solo shot in the first but otherwise kept things respectable, earning a quality start by tossing six innings and allowing three runs on six hits. The […]
With the division on the line, the White Sox fall 6-5 in the series opener
In a close game, the White Sox battled late, but sloppy baserunning, poor pitching, and a walk-off home run from Brayan Rocchio gave the Guardians the win. The White Sox fell 6-5 in the first of four games in Cleveland, one neither team necessarily deserved to win. A few singles and a lot of bad […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-40) at Guardians (45-42)
Between the White Sox losing and the Guardians winning yesterday, the division rivals sit atop the AL Central, with the Guardians just one game back in second place. The White Sox did win their first road series since May 3, but they will also need to win at least three of the four games in […]

June 2026 White Sox checkup: Raising the floor, chasing the ceiling
June was everything you expect from summer in Chicago. The White Sox feasted on the AL Central’s collapse and picked up a few unexpected wins during the East Coast road trip. While there are many strong takeaways from June, a gap still hasn’t been fully patched. The Sox don’t need Munetaka Murakami, and they don’t […]
Today in White Sox History: July 2
1909 The White Sox ran wild and set a club record in an unusual 15-3 romp over St. Louis, stealing 11 bases including three steals of home and three double-steals. White Sox third baseman Bill Purtell led the way, with three swipes. Eight different Sox players stole a base in the game! 1910 The White Sox won their first game […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 1, 2026
Charlotte Knights 2, Memphis Redbirds 0 (8 innings)The Knights (45-38) won a tight, low-scoring game to even the series in Memphis against the Redbirds (49-34). This game was all about Charlotte’s pitching staff, which was uncharacteristically dominant against Memphis. The 2026 season has been a rough one for Jonathan Cannon, but Cannon was terrific in […]
Dick Allen’s legacy remembered
Once upon a time, the Chicago White Sox endured a dreadful season, losing more than 100 games, finishing an appalling 42 games out of first place in the division, and drawing less than 500,000 fans all season. From the doldrums, the team ascended from Baseball Hell and re-established the White Sox as a competitive team, […]
Orioles rally past White Sox, 6-1, to avoid sweep
The South Siders couldn’t quite handle the Baltimore heat this afternoon. Their pitching melted down, and the bats were stagnant, as they mustered only four hits off O’s starter Dean Kremer. With the game-time temperature hitting 100°, Sam Antonacci wasted no time turning up the thermostat himself, starting things off with a bang and sending […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-39) at Orioles (39-48)
The White Sox are staring down their first road sweep of the year, with an 11:35 a.m. CT breakfast special in Baltimore. They’ve already bagged their first road series win since the Padres in early May, and now the South Siders have a shot to roll into Cleveland with some road win momentum. Noah Schultz, […]

Today in White Sox History: July 1
1905 White Sox pitcher Frank Owen won both games of a doubleheader at St. Louis, 3-2 and 2-0. In both games he went the distance, and only allowed the Browns seven total hits for the afternoon. It was the first time in American League history that this milestone was accomplished, and Owen remains one of only 10 […]
White Sox win first road series since May with 9-3 beatdown in Baltimore
In back-to-back nights, the offense scored eight or more runs while the pitching staff maintained its command, as the White Sox secured their first road series win since the May 1 series in San Diego after beating the Orioles, 9-3. His ERA didn’t improve much (4.41), but Erick Fedde was solid enough tonight to earn […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 30, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 10, Charlotte Knights 5The Knights (44-38) faceplanted out of the gate. Dustin Harris tried to set the tone with a solo shot to open the game, but that lead was gone and fast. Mason Adams got shelled for five runs in the bottom of the first, then two more in the second, and […]
Game Thread: White Sox (44-39) at Orioles (39-47)
For a team that has struggled on the road, the White Sox managed a commanding victory in Monday’s opener in Baltimore, and they will look to snag the series with a win tonight. At present, the Good Guys have a one-game lead in the AL Central, and picking up any games in the race would […]
Today in White Sox History: June 30
1911 In his 22nd and final years in the majors, Cy Young pitched his final game against the White Sox, an 8-1 loss. The 44-year-old came into the game with a 506-307 career record, but was jumped on for three runs in the first and knocked out of the box in the fifth, during a […]
Late surge lifts White Sox past Orioles, 8-2
The White Sox (44-39) kicked off the road trip by stomping the Orioles, 8-2, busting a tie wide open with six runs in the final two frames. The bats got the glory late, but this was a pitchers’ duel with Sean Burke and Shane Baz trading blows. Chicago had Baz sweating early in the first […]
Game Thread: White Sox (43-39) at Orioles (39-46)
The White Sox are back at it after a week that went their way, snagging four wins in six tries. Now comes the real test — a three-game set with the Orioles, then straight into Cleveland for four. The catch? The Sox are allergic to road games. Their .375 road winning percentage is dead last […]

Today in White Sox History: June 29
1968 In an eventual 5-2 win over the White Sox, Detroit’s Jim Northrup hit is third grand slam in the space of a week. Cisco Carlos took a 2-1 lead into the third inning, but Northrup struck, finishing off all the scoring for the game. Northrup had achieved the rare feat of hitting two grand […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 28, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 9, Charlotte Knights 4Charlotte’s pitching started rough and ended the same way, surrendering five runs to the Red Wings (49-30) in the final two innings, giving the Knights (44-37) both the game and series loss. The offense wasn’t much better for the Good Guys, who only managed to get three hits compared […]
No walk-off this time, as White Sox get crowned by Royals, 5-4
The White Sox and Royals played two games this afternoon, but squeezed them both into nine innings. For the first 3 1/2 innings, it looked like the game would last until roughly Thursday and end up 46-44. For the next 5 1/2, both relief staffs did really good Mark Buehrle imitations, so the game ended […]
Game Thread: Royals (34-50) at White Sox (43-38)
Fresh off their seventh walk-off win of the year, which followed the second-biggest win margin in team history, the White Sox try to sweep the Royals out of the palace this afternoon and send them back to Kansas City, where the song says everything is up to date, but the baseball team isn’t. Facing a […]
Trapped by a summer of belief
William Blake probably wasn’t a baseball fan. The Romantic poet of mystical prophecy, of beautiful and terrible visions, died in 1827, well before he could write about a magnificent dinger, and probably couldn’t even in his wildest fire-breathing fantasies conceive of Shohei Ohtani (though given that he believed all of the human species was essentially […]
