A 5-4 Dodgers victory over the Chicago White Sox that was made possible by Chris Taylor's sixth-inning grand slam and Freddie Freeman 's 11th-inning walk-off RBI single Thursday night served as one giant cleansing breath for their beleaguered bullpen.The Dodgers entered the game with a 4.90 bullpen ERA, the second-worst mark in baseball ahead of only the Oakland Athletics, but four relievers combined to blank the White Sox on one hit and strike out nine over the final six innings before a crowd of 48,655 in Chavez Ravine on Thursday night.

A diminished fastball did not equal diminishing returns for Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin, who blanked the Chicago White Sox on two hits through six innings of Tuesday night's 5-1 victory before a crowd of 45,561 in Chavez Ravine.Gonsolin, pitching on six days' rest-two more than normal-because the Dodgers felt he needed more recovery time between starts, struck out six, walked two and allowed only one runner to reach second base.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tony Gonsolin's velocity was down, not that it mattered.He delivered six shutout innings after getting a couple extra days of rest as the result of experiencing body soreness.Will Smith and David Peralta staked Gonsolin to an early lead with two-run homers in the first inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago White Sox 5-1 on Tuesday night.

A diminished fastball did not equal diminishing returns for Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin, who blanked the Chicago White Sox on two hits through six innings of Tuesday night's 5-1 victory before a crowd of 45,561 in Chavez Ravine.Gonsolin, pitching on six days' rest-two more than normal-because the Dodgers felt he needed more recovery time between starts, struck out six, walked two and allowed only one runner to reach second base.

CHICAGO - Tyler Anderson's string of encouraging outings came to an abrupt end.The Angels left-hander gave up six runs in a 7-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.Anderson lasted just four innings, getting knocked out of the game after a five-run fourth that came immediately after the Angels had given him a two-run lead.

Two pitches.Two swings.Four runs.That equation added up to a loss for the Chicago White Sox.Starter Lance Lynn allowed two two-run homers in the first inning in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in front of 45,561 on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium."It's kind of how it's going right now," Lynn said.

LOS ANGELES - A walk followed by a home run.A single followed by another long ball.Six batters into the first inning of an important West Coast road trip, Lance Lynn found himself and the White Sox trailing the Dodgers by four runs.In the Dodgers' 5-1 victory, Will Smith took Lynn deep to left field and David Peralta cleared the center field wall for the 17th and 18th home runs allowed by Lynn (4-7, 6.75 ERA) this season.

This one will likely make an appearance in this season's "worst losses of the season" retrospectives.For the second straight day, a pesky Marlins team made a successful late charge at the White Sox bullpen, which seems to have returned to its ways of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory after an excellent start to the month.

The Chicago White Sox had escaped trouble several times throughout Saturday afternoon.Until the ninth, when the Miami Marlins scored five in the inning to beat the Sox 5-1 in front of 25,793 at Guaranteed Rate Field.The Sox were three outs from their seventh victory in eight games.But then came a ninth to forget, featuring two singles, a double, a pair of walks and a fielding error as a one-run lead became a four-run deficit.

Detroit Zach McKinstry wanted no part of the conversation.No, I hope nobody starts thinking about it, he said, hours before he played hero in the Tigers' rousing 7-3 win over the Chicago White Sox Saturday.I hope guys just keep playing loose.You start thinking something like that is a possibility, that's when guys start to tense up and stop playing like themselves.

Lucas Giolito and the White Sox put together a well-rounded win today, taking their first back-to-back series this year after beating the Kansas City Royals, 5-1.It took nearly two months, but they finally did it, folks!May has treated the South Siders better thus far, as after finally extinguishing their 10-game losing streak they've won 10 of their last 18, which is really just a generous way of saying they have still been hanging around .500 - the White Sox way.

Happy Saturday everyone, it's game two of three in this White Sox-Royals series, Game 47 of the season, and GIO DAY (albeit day game Gio)!The lineup with the previously mentioned Lucas Giolito on the mound:
Some injury updates:
Who needs outfielders when you have first basemen?Bobby Witt Jr. singles to start the game, but a nice strike-em-out throw-em-out combo gets both him and Vinny Pasquantino.

The Yankees dropped the first game of today's twin bill 6-5, their second one-run loss in as many games.With a largely-untested rookie on the mound and a volatile offense without Aaron Judge, they'll face an uphill battle in an attempt to salvage their series against the White Sox in the nightcap of the doubleheader.

PHILADELPHIA - Center fielder Jake Marisnick, an 11-year MLB veteran, rewarded the Detroit Tigers on the first play in his first game.A fly ball from Marcus Semien, crushed 417 feet, was caught by Marisnick at the back of the warning track in the deepest part of left-center field at Comerica Park.He bounced off the wall after making the catch.

CHICAGO - Jake Burger's game-ending grand slam handed Liam Hendriks his first win since returning from cancer, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 6-2 on Sunday for a three-game series sweep.Hendriks (1-0) worked a 1-2-3 ninth, striking out two.It was the third big league appearance for the All-Star closer since he missed the start of the season after he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Chicago Even as well as he was pitching, there was every good reason for manager AJ Hinch to pull starter Matthew Boyd after five innings Sunday.He's had a hard time navigating his way the third time through a lineup.Hitters are 10 for 39 with three home runs and nine runs total facing Boyd a third time in the game.

A very well pitched game from both sides saw no runs driven in by either side.All three came via wild pitches, and the tally of one for the Sox, two wild pitches by the Tigers, tells the tale as the White Sox made it two in a row with a 2-1 victory on Saturday.For five innings, Tigers' right-hander Michael Lorenzen and White Sox's ace Dylan Cease locked up in a really good pitchers' duel.

The White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers, picking up a game in the AL Central race, but of course, they had to do it in typical South Side fashion.The bats were nonexistent for the first two-thirds of the game, and at times it really felt like we were watching paint dry.We knew this game likely wasn't going to be pretty given how mediocre both teams are, but for the first three innings, there was a no-hit battle taking place.

Lucas Giolito will be eligible for free agency for the first time after this season, which means it's probably the 2019 All-Star right-hander's last on the South Side.It also means Giolito could be dealt to a contending team before the Aug. 1 trade deadline should the White Sox be out of contention in July.

The Chicago White Sox were looking to end May on a good note.Instead they found themselves trailing by seven runs after four innings against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field.The Sox surrendered five homers - two by Shohei Ohtani - in the 12-5 loss."If you don't regroup and come back with some energy (Friday), this thing can linger on, so it's our responsibility to make sure we nip this in the bud and get back to work and bring some energy against Detroit and hopefully win a series," manager Pedro Grifol said Wednesday.

CHICAGO (AP) - Matt Thaiss and the Los Angeles Angels spoiled Liam Hendriks' party.In the most polite way.Thaiss and Brandon Drury homered during a fast start for the Angels, who graciously welcomed Hendriks back to the majors before holding off the Chicago White Sox for a 6-4 victory Monday night.Drury hit a three-run shot and Thaiss followed with another drive during a four-run first inning against a shaky Michael Kopech.

CHICAGO - The gift Angels fans have been waiting to open did not disappoint.Right-hander Ben Joyce, who famously threw a 105 mph fastball in college last year, lit up the radar gun in a scoreless inning in his big league debut, helping the Angels to a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.

One moment that defined Liam Hendriks' improbable return from his cancer diagnosis to his highly-anticipated MLB return is his first meeting with Andrew Vaughn after announcing his diagnosis.According to an ESPN story done by Jeff Passan, Vaughn, whose sister-in-law was diagnosed with the same non-Hodgkins lymphoma as Hendriks, visited Hendriks and his wife, Kristi, at his house in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Eric Haase's 10th-inning sacrifice fly gave the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.Alex Lange (3-0) pitched a scoreless top of the 10th, and Jonathan Schoop's long fly ball off Reynaldo Lopez (4-4) moved Spencer Torkelson to third with one out.Akil Baddoo was intentionally walked and Haase hit a fly ball to deep center to easily score Torkelson.

The first inning could have gotten away from Lance Lynn and the Chicago White Sox.First, there was a walk.Then left fielder Andrew Benintendi couldn't come up with the catch on a nice diving attempt that resulted in a double.Finally, on a grounder to third Yoán Moncada was unsuccessful attempting to tag out the runner going back to bag.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen, who allowed five runs in his last start but has been sharp throughout May, pitched one of the best performances of his nine-year career in the big leagues.Romy Gonzalez, the No. 9 hitter for the Chicago White Sox, broke up Lorenzen's perfect-game bid with a two-out single in the sixth inning.

The Detroit Tigers created a mess in the first inning.Actually, the entire game felt like a mess.The Tigers were embarrassed by the Chicago White Sox in a 12-3 loss Friday at Comerica Park.Left-hander Joey Wentz allowed five runs in four innings, inflaming his ERA to 7.80 through 10 starts.The offense collected three hits and seven walks while finishing 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

The Chicago White Sox pieced together a remarkable rally April 30 against the Tampa Bay Rays, scoring seven runs in the ninth for a memorable 12-9 victory at Guaranteed Rate Field.Andrew Vaughn capped the comeback with a game-ending, three-run homer.The win snapped a 10-game losing streak.And the Sox are 14-10 since, the most wins in that span in an American League Central in which almost every team is looking to find its footing.

Eloy Jiménez is currently undergoing a rehab stint with the Double-A Birmingham Barons that is projected, by Pedro Grifol and the White Sox, to be short-lived before they decide his next steps.Upon his inevitable return -- and that of Elvis Andrus from an oblique strain -- how will Grifol and the White Sox construct the lineup?

CLEVELAND (AP) - Romy González's two-run double broke a seventh-inning tie and sent the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.González snapped a 2-2 tie with his hard hit off rookie Logan Allen (1-2), who was probably left in the game one batter too many by manager Terry Francona.

Jesse Scholtens was ready to be the next pitcher up.With Mike Clevinger on the injured list, Scholtens joined the Chicago White Sox from Triple-A Charlotte.He entered Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians after opener Jimmy Lambert pitched a scoreless first, and Scholtens allowed one run in five innings.

Welcome to the SSS Summary - a little review of what happened this past week in Chicago White Sox baseball, including on-the-field play, the front office jibber-jabber, and everything in between.Even if you don't want to remember what happened, sorry, we will tell you anyway.Hallelujah!It was actually an enjoyable week for White Sox fans.

The team announced one roster move before today's game:

Prior to tonight's series opener at Cleveland, the #WhiteSox recalled RHP Jesse Scholtens from Class AAA Charlotte.Scholtens takes the roster spot of right-hander Mike Clevinger, who was placed on the 15-day IL yesterday (retroactive to 5/18) with right wrist inflammation.-

The Royals have just three series wins all year, and only one against an American League team - the Chicago White Sox.The Royals took three of four from them at home just over a week ago, and will now travel to the Windy City for a weekend set.The White Sox have been one of the biggest disasters in baseball this year, and vultures are circling the team hoping to pick off some talent for the trade deadline.

CHICAGO (AP) - Michael Kopech gave up one hit over a career-high eight innings, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 2-0 on Friday night.Kopech simply toyed with the Royals as the White Sox opened a weekend series between teams with two of the majors' worst records on a winning note.

CHICAGO (AP) - Jake Burger and Gavin Sheets both homered for the second straight game, leading the Chicago White Sox past the Cleveland Guardians 7-2 on Wednesday night.Burger added a triple and single for Chicago, which has posted consecutive victories against Cleveland and won for the third time in four games.
