Davis Martin carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning Aug. 17 in Kansas City, allowed a one-out double, retired two batters and left with a two-run lead before the Royals rallied for a 6-2 win. That game marked the Sox's 80th defeat of the season at that time. Chicago fell to 45-83 and needed an 18-16 finish to avoid a third straight 100-loss season. The franchise has four previous 100-loss years and a modern record 121 losses in 2023. The team is on pace for 105 losses but produced a post–All-Star surge, winning 10 of 14 while averaging 6.5 runs, and has recently scored seven or more runs in three of four games, suggesting offensive improvement and potential momentum down the stretch.
You go out and you go do your job and play baseball,
We have talent, we have the ability, it's just the little miscues here and there that are going to plague a young team. If we learn from them, I think .500 ball (for the remainder of the season) is definitely in our cards.
We're taking quality at-bats and we trust the guy next to us and we have good results,
Collectively the guys and their effort to commit to getting on some fastballs, making good swing decisions, just running extremely hard and playing extremely hard, guys looking for bunts - doing all the
Collection
