Your first place Chicago White Sox are 42-38. They have surpassed 2024's win total just before the halfway point of 2026 After going 4-22 vs. KC over the previous two seasons, they are now 6-2 with a chance to clinch the season series with another win this weekend. Sandlin was very solid in his return, the only blip was the control lapse after a long wait in the dugout. The pitch mix tweaks he made in the minors seem effective, with more targeted curveball usage and more cutters after the first time through. Hopefully the offense keeps up for the rest of the series and they build some confidence to take on the road. The fact that they tagged multiple pitchers in multiple innings and not just one guy having an off day is a good sign. The outburst also rocketed them up to the T-2 best run differential in the AL. Elsewhere, DET and MIN both had blowout wins and CLE lost 3-1. Records since May 25: CWS: 16-12 DET: 14-14 MIN: 12-17 KC: 12-18 CLE: 10-17 (!!!) Would be good timing for a hot streak with the potential for Mune's return to lengthen it.
