The Chicago White Sox faced another setback in their season, dropping the game to the Texas Rangers with a final score of 1-2.

The game unfolded with both teams unable to score in the first inning. The White Sox managed their only run of the game during the third inning, marking a brief lead before the Rangers responded with one run in both the third and fourth innings. The White Sox struggled offensively throughout, totaling just five hits and leaving nine runners on base.


Nicholas Lopez stood out for the White Sox with a batting average of .500 for this game, contributing significantly despite limited opportunities. On another note, Korey Lee also made his presence felt by hitting .333 and securing one hit over three at-bats. However, most players on the team found it challenging to get on base and advance runners.

Pitching was a mixed bag for Chicago; Jonathan Cannon started on the mound with an earned run average (ERA) of 3.0 over six innings pitched but couldn't secure enough support from his offense to avoid defeat. Meanwhile, Steven Wilson from bullpen provided some relief by maintaining an ERA of 0.0 across two innings pitched but ultimately could not change the outcome.


On defense, Luis Robert showcased his skills by maintaining a perfect fielding percentage without committing any errors throughout this encounter against Texas Rangers hitters who managed ten hits over nine innings.
