White Sox surge to 8 over .500 on 4-game win streak
Chicago has reversed a brutal start to 2026, climbing to 8 games above .500 after four consecutive wins.
The White Sox opened 2026 at 6-13 and then 7-14, putting them in an early hole. They have since turned things around, winning four straight games following a rough setback on Monday. The team had failed on five previous opportunities to reach 8 games over .500 before finally breaking through. Beat reporter Scott Merkin notes the milestone as a potential inflection point for the club.
