Chicago White Sox Secure Extra-Inning Victory but Continue Season Struggles

Garrett Crochet delivered a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven dominant innings, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners in extra innings on June 13, 2024. Andrew Vaughn homered and drove in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning to prevent a sweep by the Mariners. Despite a solo homer by Seattle's Julio Rodríguez that tied the game in the ninth, the White Sox managed to clinch the win. However, the season has been challenging for the Sox, who recently became the first team in the majors to lose 50 games and are on pace to match the modern record for losses in a season. Injuries to key players like Yoán Moncada, Luis Robert Jr., and Eloy Jiménez have significantly impacted their performance. The White Sox have struggled particularly on the road, with a dismal 5-26 record away from home.
