The Chicago White Sox survived one of the toughest weeks they’ll face all season, winning five of eight games in a seven-day stretch, punctuated by a resilient Sunday doubleheader sweep of the New York Yankees.
This week, the White Sox will get a pair of well-deserved off-days: one coming on Monday and another on Friday. In-between, the White Sox will play five winnable games — three against the Boston Red Sox and two against the Chicago Cubs, with both series at home.
The Red Sox are arguably the hottest team in baseball, riding into town on a five-game winning streak, winning 8 of their last 10 games.
