With this win, the White Sox hit a notable benchmark in the 2025 season. At 42-69, they've surpassed last season's win total with 51 games to play. That's not necessarily a high bar, given the 2024 White Sox had the worst season in the modern era of MLB history, going 41-121.

Should the White Sox maintain this current pace, they'll finish the season with 61 victories -- a 20-game improvement. However many games Chicago wins the rest of the way, each and everyone will represent a step forward.
