Today in White Sox History: August 22
1923 In a game at Comiskey Park, White Sox pitcher Hollis “Sloppy” Thurston threw an immaculate inning of relief (striking out the side on only nine pitches) versus the Philadelphia Athletics. Thurston’s Immaculate Inning came in the 12th, mowing down Frank “Beauty” McGowan, Clarence “Chick” Galloway and Sam Hale. Thurston became the first White Sox and just […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 21, 2026
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 5, Charlotte Knights 3 Playing against two rehabbing Yankees and their 4A team was too tall an order for the Knights, but this time the loss was on the arms. Jonathan Cannon did a fair job stretching his start as long as possible. Although he gave up two home runs, his six innings […]
Back-to-back-to-back ties it, Jake Rogers jack wins it for White Sox
For a young team like the Chicago White Sox, where most of the players haven’t experienced a playoff race much less a wining season, the dog days can be too much for some teams to handle. With plenty of time left in August, no one game gives reason to push the panic button, but the […]
Game Thread: Mets (58-70) at White Sox (66-61)
Heading into this season most people would’ve assumed the New York Mets would be fighting for their division title while the White Sox would be floundering, with another losing record. Fortunately for us, money can’t buy wins on its own, unless you’re Mark Walter and you love taking out loans. The Mets have been better […]
South Side Sox Reacts: It’s still The Punch
Heading into the second Crosstown series of the season — and this one with much more anticipation of success for the White Sox than the one back in May — it seemed a good time to review our very favorite moments of interleague play between the two Chicago teams. Understanding that there are multitudes of […]
Today in White Sox History: August 21
1901 While they were the most prodigious team entering the major leagues in this year, the White Sox still could not avoid major controversy before the summer was out. Two Sox players were suspended after attacking umpire Jack Haskell in the fourth inning of a 8-0 loss at Washington. When Senators third baseman Bill Coughlin […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 20, 2026
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 2, Charlotte Knights 0 (7 innings)It was just seven innings, but the Knights (66-57) played a close one against the RailRiders (63-56), who outhit Charlotte 4-3 and spoiled a great performance by lefthander Noah Schultz in a 2-0 shutout loss. Schultz was efficient for four frames, allowing just four baserunners — three hits […]
White Sox held to one hit in 2-0 shutout loss to Braves
The bats were not aware that today was not an off-day, as the White Sox fell to the Braves with only one hit in nine innings. Atlanta broke its losing streak with a 2-0 win before leaving town again. Anthony Kay had two solid innings, getting nearly every batter to ground out for quick frames. […]
Game Thread: Braves (74-53) at White Sox (66-60)
The Braves are back in town for one game against the White Sox to finish a series from June 11. The White Sox have already taken the first two games and have a chance to sweep the Braves this afternoon. Atlanta was just swept by the Twins after losing two of three to the Diamondbacks, […]
Today in White Sox History: August 20
1928 White Sox rookie Art “The Great” Shires made a sensational debut, with four hits (including a triple) against the Red Sox in a 6-4 win. He’s one of only 11 players to ever get four or more hits in his first big-league game. “The Great” nickname, by the way, was self-assigned! 1929 The White Sox honored pitcher Red […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 19, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 2Knights put up a two-spot in the first, as back-to-back leadoff walks to Rikuu Nishida and Dru Baker, a single by Ryan Galanie and a ground out by Junior Perez got the job done. The RailRiders tied it up though in the bottom of the second, plating two off the […]
Urquidy deals, White Sox finally get last laugh at Wrigley, 3-0
Third time’s the charm, or so they say. After two nights of late-inning faceplants at Wrigley, the White Sox finally got the last laugh, blanking the Cubs, 3-0, and sneaking out of the North Side with a win. And José Urquidy was exactly the hero an exhausted pitching staff needed. Urquidy carved up the Cubs […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-60) at Cubs (74-53)
After two straight gut-punch walk-off losses at Wrigley Field, the White Sox will try to salvage the finale of the Crosstown series this afternoon before heading back to the South Side. Despite the back-to-back heartbreakers, the Sox still hold a four-game lead over the Twins in the AL Central, but there isn’t much time to […]
Crosstown crash out: White Sox walked off again, 4-3
There’s something about the Chicago Cubs (73-53) and rain delays, isn’t there? After waiting out the weather for nearly an hour-and-a-half, the White Sox (65-59) folded against their North Side rivals, getting walked off on back-to-back nights, 4-3. Up until tonight, Bryan Hudson had just a 1.29 ERA across six opener starts and had allowed […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 17-18, 2026
Charlotte Knights 9, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 8 (10 innings)The Knights (65-56) struck first in the second inning. Edgar Quero led off with a double, and Caden Connor drove him in for a quick 1-0 edge. Shane Smith, still lost, flooded the basepaths with traffic in the bottom half and let the RailRiders swipe the lead right […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-59) at Cubs (73-53)
The White Sox are looking to rebound on the North Side after a heartbreaking, walk-off loss to the Cubs in extra innings Monday. With a chance to even the series tonight, they are turning to a (fairly) exhausted bullpen to handle Tuesday’s game, with lefthander Bryan Hudson getting the ball first for the seventh time […]
Today in White Sox History: August 18
1910 Red Faber, pitching for the Class-B Dubuque Dubs in the Three-I (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana) League, threw a 3-0 perfect game against the Davenport Prodigals. Faber, 21, would make his MLB debut in 1914 for the White Sox, beginning a Hall of Fame career. The Cascade, Iowa native never threw a no-hitter, much less a […]
Cubs walk off White Sox in frustrating 7-5 extra-inning loss
The Crosstown Classic started with a soul-crushing extra-inning heartbreak for the White Sox with a Cubs walk-off. Despite the game staying close and competitive, poor challenges and sloppy defense doomed the South Siders. The Sox fell 7-5 in the opener. The game got off to an ugly start after the White Sox went down in […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-58) at Cubs (72-53)
It’s time for both my favorite and least favorite series of the year — the Crosstown Classic! The White Sox will head a few miles north to face the Cubs at Wrigley Field. With both teams doing well this season and the White Sox winning the first-half series, the rivalry feels more competitive this time […]

Today in White Sox History: August 17
1962 The final piece of the Billy Pierce–Eddie Fisher trade (involving six total players) was named, as San Francisco sent pitcher Verle Tiefenthaler to the White Sox. Tiefenthaler would pitch in just three games for the White Sox, making his major league debut on August 19 and getting rocked for two earned in two-thirds of […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 16, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 7, Charlotte Knights 5The Knights (64-56) came out swinging when Rikuu Nishida coaxed a walk, then Junior Perez and Edgar Quero ripped back-to-back doubles for a quick 2-0 cushion. Riley Unroe chipped in with a solo blast in the second, and suddenly it was 3-0, Charlotte. But, as is tradition, the Knights […]
White Sox complete sweep of Detroit, 7-5
