Overview
- The White Sox regained sole possession of first place after Friday's 12-4 win at Toronto as every starter recorded at least one hit and the club extended its winning momentum entering the second half.
- Rookie Sam Antonacci homered in consecutive games and had two hits, while Colson Montgomery hit a three-run double and Braden Montgomery drove in four runs with a three-run triple.
- Starter Anthony Kay worked four innings, allowed two runs, struck out five and threw 83 pitches, and long reliever Tyler Schweitzer closed with three scoreless innings to earn his first major-league win.
- The club entered the break fourth in MLB with 129 homers, and The Sporting News reported that analysts see a plausible path for the White Sox to keep surging in power—a view framed as speculation and partly tied to injuries to Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
- Questions remain about bullpen consistency and how the front office will manage the rotation and the trade deadline, which will shape whether this road‑game performance becomes sustained second‑half momentum.
