White Sox struggle with power hitting since All-Star break
Summary

The Chicago White Sox have seen a significant decline in home runs since the All-Star break, managing only two in July. Colson Montgomery, Munetaka Murakami, and Miguel Vargas, who each had over 20 home runs before the break, have combined for just five since. Despite strong overall offensive performance, including a 4-2 road trip, the lack of home runs has led to inconsistent scoring outputs, evident in games where they followed high-scoring efforts with shutouts. The White Sox aim to rediscover their power as they approach the MLB trade deadline, having struggled against the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros recently.
