Key Moments and Performances


Throughout the game, the White Sox managed only four hits and scored two runs, showcasing a batting average of .133. Despite their efforts, including six walks that boosted their on-base percentage to .316, they couldn't capitalize on these opportunities as evidenced by leaving nine runners on base and hitting just one run batted in (RBI) with runners in scoring position out of nine attempts.


On the brighter side for the White Sox, Lenyn Sosa stood out with an impressive performance at bat. Sosa hit .667 for the game, contributing significantly to the team's total hits. Charles Robinson also made his presence felt by hitting .333 and reaching base half of his plate appearances.
