Shane Smith capped off a tremendous rookie season with a start for the Chicago White Sox in Game 162 on Sunday afternoon that might have been his best so far.
The White Sox took on the Washington Nationals in the regular season finale, and ran away with an 8-0 victory, giving them a final record of 60-102 for the 2025 season.
Smith went six innings and allowed just one baserunner. He surrendered a single in the sixth after retiring the first 16 batters he faced. Smith also recorded eight strikeouts, which tied his season and career high.
