Inadequate Angel hitters face down Aaron Civale and the White Sox, result in scoreless defeat
Chicago White Sox Continue Winning Streak with 1-0 Victory over Angels
The Chicago White Sox extended their winning streak to 10 games in 14 matches since the All-Star break, securing a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Aaron Civale was the star of the show for the White Sox, pitching one-hit ball into the seventh inning. He struck out eight batters, allowing just one walk, and did not concede an earned run. This exceptional performance marked his third consecutive start without allowing an earned run since the All-Star break. In his most recent outing on August 2, 2025, Civale threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Angels, striking out eight batters and allowing only three hits.
The lone hit for the Angels came in the fourth inning when Zach Neto beat out a slow roller down the third base line. Nolan Schanuel followed with a walk, but Civale managed to retire the next three batters, limiting the damage.
The White Sox scored their only run in the second inning. Kyle Teel drove in Luis Robert Jr., who reached on a leadoff single, with an RBI single of his own.
Brooks Baldwin had two hits for the White Sox, while Tyler Anderson pitched for the Angels in the game. Mike Trout was unable to play due to illness.
The Angels struggled to hold back the White Sox's offensive surge, losing three consecutive games to the Chicago team. Despite their loss, the Angels currently stand at 53-58 for the season.
The White Sox, who broke the modern major league record for most losses in a season with a 121-41 record in 2024, have already surpassed their 41 wins from that dismal season. Since the All-Star break, the White Sox have led the MLB in home runs (27) and runs scored (90), reflecting a team-wide improvement contributing to their win streak.
Brandon Eisert retired all five batters he faced in the game, providing valuable relief for the White Sox. Jordan Leasure finished the game with a one-hitter, earning his third save in seven opportunities.
With the win, the White Sox improved to 42-69 for the season. Infielder Miguel Vargas was scratched from the game due to a left oblique strain. The White Sox will look to continue their winning streak when they face the Angels again on Sunday.
The Angels, being based in California, faced the Chicago White Sox in another intense baseball match, this time in Los Angeles. The White Sox's success in sports expanded beyond Chicago, with their dominance in baseball extending to the West Coast. On Sunday, the Angels will try to break their three-game losing streak against the White Sox, who have been impressing in MLB with their extraordinary offensive surge, particularly since the All-Star break.
