While the Chicago White Sox couldn’t complete a sweep of the Rockies in Denver yesterday afternoon, they’ll have a chance to continue showing small signs of positive momentum as they enter the home stretch of the first half with tonight’s series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rate Field.
The South Siders are catching Toronto at a less-than-ideal time, having just seized the mantle of “hottest team in the league” with back-to-back home sweeps of the Yankees and Angels last week. With the rest of the division spiraling, they’ve won 10 of their last 11 games and have surged to a shocking, three-game lead in the AL East.
