White Sox Minor League Update: May 31, 2026
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Charlotte Knights 5Dropping the last two games of the series, the Knights (29-28) allowed the Jumbo Shrimp (32-25) to even the six-game set, as Jacksonville took the win home Sunday, 6-5. Charlotte had actually held onto a one-run lead (2-1) through six, but Riley Gowens collapsed in the seventh and surrendered […]
White Sox outlast Tigers, 2-1
Once again, the White Sox proved persistent, resilient and … just plain … good, knocking off Detroit, 2-1, sweeping the series and creeping to within a game of first place in the AL Central. We’re all old enough to remember that most national writers tabbed the White Sox for last place once again in the […]
Game Thread: Tigers (22-37) at White Sox (31-27)
I’m still looking at 31-27 with some level of disbelief. I have typically been on the sunnier side than many of colleagues in prognosticating the future of the White Sox. It took until August 2024 for me to think that they really, truly had a chance at reaching 121 in the loss column. In 2025, […]
Today in White Sox History: May 31
1914 Joe “The Butcher Boy” Benz, (so named because he worked as a butcher in the offseason) fired a no-hitter, beating Cleveland 6-1 at Comiskey Park. The lone Naps run, scored in the fourth inning, came out of three consecutive White Sox errors. Benz walked two and struck out three on the day. It was the second […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 30, 2026
By all accounts, Charlotte should not only be in first place in the International League North, but the entire International League, boasting a +62 run differential. As it stands, the Knights are a mere third-place team at 29-27, 5 ½ games out of first place. Given its high-powered offense, perhaps the playoffs will still be […]
White Sox declaw Tigers, 7-1
The White Sox lacked the inured Munetaka Murakami, but they didn’t lack the long ball late, piling it on to turn close game into rout, 7-1. They say sinker ball pitchers can struggle in the first inning, and Framber Valdez certainly proved them right, chasing a Chase Meidroth leadoff double with two walks, a wild […]
Game Thread: Tigers (22-36) at White Sox (30-27)
Last night’s victory for the Sox was certainly exciting, what with tying the game in the ninth on a misplayed squeeze bunt and then winning on a walk-off homer in the 10th. But it was also pyrrhic, since Munetaka Murakami injured a hammie trying to beat out a double play throw in the third inning […]
Today in White Sox History: May 30
1914 Leading off a doubleheader opener at Cleveland, Buck Weaver clocked the first leadoff home run in White Sox history, a deep blast to left field against Naps starter Willie Mitchell. It spurred the White Sox to a 6-3 win and supported Eddie Cicotte in his fourth win of the season. Interestingly, Weaver hit just […]
White Sox come alive late in 4-3 stunner
The margins for error in baseball are incredibly slim. So far this season, the White Sox have taken advantage of opportunities afforded to them, which is why they’re seeing success early in the season. Coming into tonight’s game, they knew they’d have to take advantage of their chances with budding Detroit ace Troy Melton on […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 29, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4Although Charlotte unleashed another storm of runs onto poor Jacksonville, the biggest headline is Jacob Gonzalez’s departure. He collected three hits, including his 19th bomb, and a stolen base before Jason Matthews replaced him in the sixth. Why, you may ask? Gonzalez’s removal lines up with Munetaka Murakami being […]
Game Thread: Tigers (22-35) at White Sox (29-27)
For the first time since May 2023, the White Sox will finish a month with a winning record — and they still have three games left to improve upon their total. After taking three of four from the Minnesota Twins at home, the White Sox look to push the lowly Tigers even further into the […]
Does Murakami’s latest milestone change his future with the Sox?
As the most recent member of the 20 jacks club, Munetaka Murakami has proven that he’s the real deal. As the first rookie ever to blast 20 homers before June, Murakami quickly progressed from winning over White Sox fans’ hearts to gaining national traction. In less than two months, his name is already getting thrown […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 28, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5Charlotte (28-26) fell into a four-run pit, then stormed back with a 12-5 romp. Jacob Gonzalez, once again, front and center, and at this point the White Sox brass must be running out of excuses to keep him down. Gonzalez wasted no time, unloading his 17th bomb in the […]
White Sox Martinize Twins, 6-2
It didn’t look like the feeble-hitting Twins would have much chance against Davis Martin, and that turned out to be right. And it didn’t look like the Sox would struggle against an emergency starter rushed into action very shortly before game time, and that turned out to be right, too. Especially thanks to the incompetence […]
Game Thread: Twins (27-29) at White Sox (28-27)
If the White Sox aren’t all exhausted from running around the bases so much in last night’s 15-2 lambasting of the Twins, they’ve got an excellent chance to make it three out of four for the Minnesota visit today. Not only are the Chicago bats hot — okay, just for one game so far, but […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 27, 2026
Charlotte Knights 2, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 2 (Suspended in the fifth inning)The Knights (27-25) fell behind early but rallied to tie the game against the Jumbo Shrimp (29-23) before the weather got involved. The game got off to a rough start for Hagen Smith, who allowed a two-run homer in the top of the first. […]
Sandlin’s stellar debut, red-hot bats, give White Sox a massive win
After a tough loss in extras Tuesday evening, the White Sox put on a hitting clinic against the Twins, ending in a 15-2 blowout. David Sandlin pitched a gem through six innings, breaking franchise records, and both the small and long ball were prevalent tonight. There was even a grand slam! Believe it or not, […]
Game Thread: Twins (27-28) at White Sox (27-27)
The White Sox look to take game three of this four-game set after dropping a game last night to the Twins. Yet another new face will make his debut tonight; this time, it’s pitcher David Sandlin. This debut is due to Noah Schultz’s injury; earlier this week, Schultz was placed on the 15-day injured list […]
Today in White Sox History: May 27
1933 On the same day that the White Sox were awarded the very first All-Star Game, the club suffered their second-worst turnaround loss ever. Up 11-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth at Yankee Stadium, the White Sox surrendered 12 runs and wound up losing the game an inning later, 15-11. Ted Lyons surrendered […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 26, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0The Knights (27-25) leaned on a stellar night from the pitching staff and just enough timely offense to blank Jacksonville. Charlotte struck first in the second inning when Dru Baker showed off some thump, yanking his sixth homer of the season to bring home two runs and give the […]
White Sox fall 5-3 to Twins in extras to foil the late-game comeback
The offense came up short for the Good Guys, going 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position in a frustrating 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins on the South Side tonight. This game had all the emotions: annoyance that the bats couldn’t ignite, excitement from a game-tying homer, shock after the go-ahead run was thrown out […]
Game Thread: Twins (26-28) at White Sox (27-26)
The White Sox brought themselves back to a game above .500 after a rough road trip, and will aim to defeat the Minnesota Twins for the eighth time in a row tonight. Sean Burke had himself an excellent April — 2.73 ERA in 29 2/3 innings — but has fallen flat this month, holding a […]
Today in White Sox History: May 26
1959White Sox owner Bill Veeck was always good for a crazy stunt, but this one topped the cake. Before a game hosting Cleveland and in front of 40,018 fans, four little people dressed up as Martians “landed” at Comiskey Park (via helicopter) and “captured” Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio. One of the Martians was 3´7´´ Eddie Gaedel. Terms were discussed for […]

White Sox separate Twins from their bats, 3-1
After and exchange of long-ball offense early and then hanging on to a 3-1 win for the White Sox this Memorial Day. But the big play didn’t come from big bats but from 5´6´´ Rikuu Nishida, playing in his first major league game. The Sox and Twins traded solo homers by Brooks Lee and Munetaka […]
