The White Sox just reminded us all why winning is so much fun. For the first time in the 2026 season, the South Siders put together a winning week—and they did it in style. It all started with a stunning sweep of the Los Angeles Angels and nearly ended with another series win in San Diego. Sunday’s loss capped off an impressive 5-1 stretch, leaving the team just two games below .500. If you’re a White Sox fan, that’s a feeling worth celebrating.
Of course, when you win five games in a week, there aren’t many lowlights to dwell on. But there are always a few moments worth talking about.
Take Monday’s game, for instance. You’ve heard the saying "April showers bring May flowers," right? Well, Chicago’s faithful got a firsthand lesson. Fans brought their dogs to the ballpark for a special night out, only to face a three-hour rain delay. First pitch finally came at 9:40 p.m. CDT, and the White Sox didn’t seal the win until 12:34 a.m. Tuesday. Major props to everyone who stuck it out—hopefully, there were plenty of beers to keep them warm.
On the mound, Anthony Kay is starting to carve out a role in the rotation. He made two starts this week, and while there was clear improvement between them, there’s still work ahead. Monday’s rain-delayed outing was short: four innings, four earned runs, two hit batters, two walks, and two strikeouts. If the offense hadn’t roared to life, he’d have taken the loss. Instead, he walked away with a no-decision and got to celebrate a comeback win with his teammates.
Kay got the ball again in Sunday’s series finale in San Diego. This time, he went deeper, giving up three runs (two earned), walking one, and striking out five. Once again, he was in line for the loss, but the White Sox tied it up in the seventh to keep him off the hook. Two no-decisions in a week? That beats two losses any day.
That said, the offense faced a tough challenge in the bottom of the ninth on Sunday against a well-rested Mason Miller. But there’s no excuse for Acuña when the tying run is standing on second base with two outs, and you go down swinging on three pitches to end the game. Fans can say what they want, but those are the moments that separate a good week from a great one.
