The Chicago White Sox needed a lift after scratching infielder Miguel Vargas moments before Saturday’s game because of a left oblique strain. Aaron Civale delivered.

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.

It took the Chicago White Sox 111 games to beat their win total from last season, as they knocked off the Angels 1-0 Saturday.
