One of the best wins of the year by far,” Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable called Wednesday’s 11-9 defeat of the Tampa Bay Rays.

The White Sox have scored 35 runs during the current four-game win streak. Coincidentally, that’s their most runs in any four-game stretch since the aforementioned four-game win streak in September of 2022, when they scored 38 runs. With their record at 36-65, the White Sox are 29 games below .500 for the first time since July 5.

The Chicago White Sox have had a great start to the second half, going 5-1 in their first six games and winning back-to-back series against the Tampa Bay Rays and Pittsburgh Pirates.
