The Chicago White Sox dominated the Texas Rangers 10-4 on Wednesday, securing the series victory behind a dominant offensive performance. The South Siders improved to 70-63 with the win, extending their AL Central lead to 2.5 games over the second-place teams.
Tristan Peters continued his remarkable hitting streak by going 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in the fifth inning, marking his fifth consecutive game with a homer. This achievement tied the White Sox franchise record and established Peters alongside Munetaka Murakami and Ron Kittle as the only rookies in club history to accomplish the feat. Brenton Doyle provided additional offensive firepower with a three-run homer and four total RBIs, while Sam Antonacci added two RBIs off the bench.
Starting pitcher Sean Burke struggled with control, allowing eight walks across three-plus innings before Sean Newcomb took over and delivered three scoreless frames to stabilize the game. The White Sox ultimately amassed 15 hits, taking advantage of Texas’s pitching vulnerabilities to put the contest out of reach early.
Chicago will enjoy a day off on Thursday before traveling to Minnesota to face the Twins on Friday. The Rangers drop to 66-68 with the loss.
