Only three teams in the American League have a worse record than the Chicago White Sox.
However, the White Sox are confident a recent hot stretch -- and a spate of exciting wins at home -- represents who they really are as the summer approaches.
Michael Kopech is scheduled to start for the White Sox against Sandy Alcantara in a battle of right-handers. The win was the sixth in seven games for the White Sox. Chicago is 21-15 since May 1, the best record in the division and the fourth-best mark in the American League.Chicago's past three home games ended with walk-off victories, and all three came in vastly different ways. Yoan Moncada scored on a wild pitch in the 10th inning of a 2-1 win over Detroit on June 3, one day before Jake Burger hit a ninth-inning grand slam to vault the hosts to a 6-2 win over the Tigers.
Miami will try to start another streak behind Alcantara, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner who is enduring a rough season. Alcantara allowed five runs -- all in the third inning -- over seven innings and didn't factor into the decision as the Marlins beat the Oakland Athletics 7-5 on Sunday.
