Game Storylines
White Sox Aim for Series Sweep
The Chicago White Sox are surging post-All-Star break, winning 10 of their last 14 games. They’ve already clinched the series and are looking for their second sweep of the season. Chicago’s pitching has been stellar, including a one-hit shutout on Saturday led by Aaron Civale, who struck out eight over 6.1 innings. Offensively, Kyle Teel and Luis Robert Jr. have provided timely hitting, while Lenyn Sosa (.281 AVG, 11 HR) continues to lead the team in batting.
Angels Reeling Amid Injuries
The Los Angeles Angels have lost three straight games and are now 5.5 games back in the AL Wild Card race. Mike Trout remains out with illness, and the offense has sputtered, batting just .182 over the last 10 games. Sunday’s starter Jack Kochanowicz (3–9, 5.75 ERA) is winless in his last 11 starts but has a 1.35 ERA in three career outings vs Chicago.
Pitching Matchup
- Burke tossed six shutout innings vs the Angels on Opening Day.
