Latest news and updates about the White Sox
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 […]
The good news about a rocky small sample is that it’s a small sample, and one or two big games can overwrite it. Caleb Bonemer is the latest example, as he’s now hitting .293/.396/.415 over his brief Double-A career after going 4-for-5 with two doubles and his first Birmingham homer, which happened to be a… The post White Sox Minor Keys: June 28, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

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 […]
A year ago, your baseball knowledge would have had to go extremely deep to know who Tristan Peters was. Either that, or your surname was also Peters and you meet him every Christmas. Peters had appeared in four games at the major league level for the Tampa Bay Rays, gone 0-for-12, struck out seven times […] The post The Outfielder Who Embodies the White Sox’s Resurgence appeared first on HEAVY .
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 […]
Anthony Kay didn't have it, and the White Sox offense couldn't quite bring it. Kay gave up runs in each of the four innings he started, immediately squandering a pair of early leads provided by the Sox offense. Five White Sox relievers kept the Royals scoreless to keep the game within reach, but five Royals relievers kept the White Sox scoreless, and so the 5-4 final score was frozen in place after 3½ innings.

The Royals rallied early in a back-and-forth game, to beat the White Sox 5-4. It ends a 4-game losing streak and a 6-game losing streak to the White Sox. Lane Thomas led off the game with a single and stole second. He went to third on Bobby Witt Jr.’s deep flyout to center. Carter Jensen […]
In actuality, giving no quarter to a defeated enemy is a pretty shameful war crime that has no place in civilized society. At least, you'd hope. In jokey baseball context, it's just being used here to refer to the White Sox trying to complete a sweep against a Kansas City Royals club that has the worst record in the American League and could be said to be going through it , in more ways than one.

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 […]
The Royals have followed up winning 5 of 6, by losing 4 games in a row. In those 4 losses they’ve scored 7 runs, allowed 42. Been no hit for 8.1 innings in one of them and lost 13-2 and 22-1. To say the least, ever since Tuesday night, it’s been rather painful to watch […]
CHSN reporter Brooke Fletcher became the first female game analyst in Chicago White Sox history when she filled in on the telecast for Steve Stone during a White Sox game against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Brooke is the daughter of former White Sox infielder Scott Fletcher, and on Saturday, she interviewed her father…
At the mathematical halfway point, the 2026 White Sox are on pace to finish 86-76. An entire half of work remains, but as long as they sit in a postseason spot, they’re free to play the “nobody believed in us” card like Davis Martin did after Saturday’s 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals. “We… The post Doubling the 2026 White Sox’s numbers at the halfway point appeared first on Sox Machine .
Two updates from the White Sox middle infielder ranks: *Jeral Perez was bumped back to Winston-Salem after hitting .180/.282/.281 over 60 games with Birmingham. He hadn’t found any real traction at any point over his first three months in Double-A. June was theoretically his most productive month (.232/.317/.357), but it was accompanied by a strikeout… The post White Sox Minor Keys: June 27, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
1941 White Sox infielder Don Kolloway became the second White Sox player to steal second, third and home in the same inning. Kolloway pulled this off in Cleveland as part of a 6-4 Sox win. His base-stealing feat took place in the ninth inning. He also homered twice — his first two career major league home runs — and is the […]
Rochester Red Wings 3, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights (44-36) scored one early in the bottom of the first but weren’t able to scratch another across, losing to the Red Wings (48-30), 3-1. Dru Baker led off the first with a double (his first of three hits on the day) and scored just a couple of […]
On June 27, 1983, the White Sox got their first walk-off win of that season. On June 27, 2026 — the day the team was honoring the AL West division […]
Tristan Peters. Colson Montgomery. Miguel Vargas. Edgar Quero. Braden Montgomery. Sam Antonacci. What do they all have in common? They’ve recorded walk-off RBIs for the Chicago White Sox this season. And Jacob Gonzalez has added his name to this elusive list in today’s 2-1 win! Naturally, after scoring 22 runs on Friday night, we were […]
A laugher akin to their 22-1 blowout on Friday night wouldn't have suited a tribute to the 1983 White Sox . A game-ending Jacob Gonzalez single preceded by one of the strangest mistakes you'll ever see? Now that's winning ugly.

Against the White Sox this afternoon, the Royals lost their fourth straight game, this one a 2-1 comedy of errors in which the Royals failed to bunt home a run, had a runner thrown out at third after scoring their lone run, had an infielder trip on second base, and had an infielder leave after […]
Right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson was claimed on waivers by the Cubs from the Phillies earlier this week. And now, he’s on the active roster (Bluesky link): Wilson had eight years in the major leagues before 2026, with the Braves, Pirates, Brewers and White Sox. He was pretty bad for the Sox last year (6.65 ERA […]
This afternoon’s ballgame marks the halfway point of the 2026 season: Game 81. Coming off a performance the Chicago White Sox haven’t seen since 1970, we also haven’t seen such an exciting and winning franchise on the South Side for five years, though at times it feels like it’s been five decades (2005 and 1983 […]
Well, it’s time for Royals baseball. Again. Listen, I’m not going to get into much about yesterday’s game. But I will say this: this isn’t rock bottom. Two teams–the Giants and the Rockies–still have worse records than the Royals while the Angels, who just made a front office change, have the same 34-49 record. Only […]
Members of the 1983 American League West champion 'Winning Ugly' White Sox are in the building on Saturday for a reunion event, right as the current team is trying to not have a letdown after administering a 22-1 thrashing of the Royals on Friday night. Members of the 1983 team in attendance don't seemed to be bothered by the contrast in themes. The post Pregame notes: What’s the opposite of winning ugly? appeared first on Sox Machine .
Strike up the band. The Kansas City Royals have absorbed some ugly defeats over the years, but Friday night’s 22-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox has added a new level of futility of its own. As a margin of defeat, it was the worst loss in franchise history. The Royals had previously suffered several […] The post Royals Manage to Lose in History-Making Fashion appeared first on HEAVY .
