White Sox struggle against Red Sox, bounce back against Guardians

The White Sox recently faced a challenging week from August 3-9, 2026, starting with a tough three-game series against the Boston Red Sox, where they lost 14-2 and 4-0 before narrowly losing 5-4 after 13 innings. However, they rebounded by taking two of three games against the Cleveland Guardians, successfully snapping a four-game losing streak.
