White Sox stay level-headed as playoff race hits August

The White Sox recognize they’re in a race against time to make a playoff push. But, as they’ve done all year, this is a group of players that's staying level-headed through both the good and the bad.

On Sunday, it was more of the bad side of the White Sox as Jeff Samardzija was torched for nine runs in a 12-3 loss to the New York Yankees in front of a sellout crowd of 38,840 at U.S. Cellular Field. The White Sox weren’t able to take a series from the American League East leaders and remain three and a half games behind the Minnesota Twins for the second wild card spot.
