White Sox Extend 6-1 Post-All-Star Winning Streak Led by Montgomery

The Chicago White Sox have been on a remarkable offensive surge since the All-Star break, highlighted by multiple rookies stepping up, including Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, and Kyle Teel. In a dominant 12-5 win over the Cubs, the White Sox ended their losing streak against Chicago and set a season high with 18 hits, with every starter recording at least one hit. Montgomery has been a key contributor, recently going 2-for-5 with five RBIs against the Rays, and hitting .259 with 10 RBIs over his last seven games. The team's offense has been the major factor in their second-half success, scoring 49 runs in six games and leading MLB in runs since the break. Their young roster is gaining confidence and consistency, as manager Will Venable praised Montgomery's adjustments and commitment, which have translated into results at the major league level. Despite early deficits in some games, the White Sox have demonstrated resilience and improved pitching performances, such as Jonathan Cannon's career-high nine strikeouts in a recent victory over Tampa Bay.
