Entering the game having lost 15 straight games (14 in 1949, one already in 1950), Howie Judson gets the win in relief as the White Sox defeat St. Louis, 12-8.

Though Judson finished 1950 with a 2-3 record, his 1.8 WAR was by far the best of his seven seasons in the major leagues.

1956

The White Sox purchased pitcher Gerry Staley from the Yankees. Staley would become one of the top relief pitchers in the league by 1959, helping the Sox win the pennant.
