The Chicago White Sox's four-game winning streak was halted by the Tampa Bay Rays with a 4-3 defeat. Despite the loss, the White Sox showcased competitive spirit, with Davis Martin expressing belief in their chances until the final pitch. The game marked Martin's return from injury, having previously led the team in innings and quality starts. However, control issues emerged, leading to runs for the Rays and ultimately contributing to the White Sox's 23rd one-run loss of the season.
I think even that whole game down 4-2 for the most part and you just felt in the dugout everybody felt we were going to have opportunities. We fell short. Normally it's fold the tents, pack it up, we'll go get them tomorrow. It's 27 outs, we are fighting, grinding for 27 outs.
The game began with excitement surrounding Martin's return from a right forearm strain, which kept him out of major league action since June 12. At the time of his injury, Martin led the team with 80.2 innings, while recording a 3.79 ERA and seven quality starts.
