Just a little over one week ago, it seemed inevitable that the Chicago White Sox would lose 100 games for a third consecutive season.
After an extra innings loss to the New York Yankees, the White Sox were sitting at 48-88. That meant they needed to close the season with a 15-11 record to avoid triple digits in the loss column.
Thankfully, the White Sox have now won seven of their last eight games. They swept the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in a four game series for the first time in franchise history and then had a gritty series victory over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park over the weekend.
