Ice-cold offense and terrible pitching handed the White Sox a terrible loss
The Pale Hose fall, 11-2, to the Rangers
The White Sox suffered a devastating 11-2 defeat to the Texas Rangers, who entered the game with a losing record. The pitching performance was particularly abysmal, with José Urquidy allowing 39 pitches in his initial inning. He made two crucial mistakes: walking the leadoff batter and the third batter, and subsequently hitting Brandon Nimmo, who was subsequently driven in by Ezequiel Duran's groundout.
Evan Carter's double set the White Sox on the right path, but further damage was done when Jake Burger walked and Joc Pederson's double-off-field loaded the bases. Andrew Benintendi's single could have even tied the game had it not been for Nimmo's timely catch. Corey Seager's single and safe reach at second base followed, with the Rangers capitalizing on several errors, culminating in Tristan Peters' 10th homer of the season, extending the Rangers' lead to 9-2.
The White Sox' offense was entirely inept, as they went down in order, and Luisangel Acuña's pitching effort was insufficient to salvage the game.
