Overview

  • Chicago has scored an MLB-best 35 runs and hit 17 doubles in four games since the All-Star break, capped by Monday’s 8-3 win at Tampa Bay
  • Brooks Baldwin launched a three-run homer in the second inning and Miguel Vargas added a two-run blast for five key runs
  • Chase Meidroth went 4-for-5 with three doubles as six of the Sox’s 11 hits went for extra bases
  • Sean Burke yielded two runs over four innings and reliever Tyler Gilbert picked up the win while Rays starter Shane Baz allowed eight runs over four frames
  • The win is Chicago’s first four-game streak since May 2024 despite ranking near the bottom in most offensive categories, and Martín Pérez is set to begin a rehab assignment ahead of the trade deadline
