This was the first home run ever hit by an ex-Cubs batter (Tauchman) off an ex-White Sox pitcher (Flexen), or vice-versa, in a matchup of the two Chicago teams.

The White Sox have won all four post-All-Star break games by at least five runs, showing signs of improvement despite their place in the AL Central.

Adrian Houser, boasting a 1.56 ERA, is set to pitch against Mike Burrows, who has a 4.83 ERA and recently struggled against the Twins.

Jonathan Cannon delivered a masterful performance on the mound, pitching seven strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits, with no walks and two strikeouts.

In the ALCS against the Los Angeles Angels, pitchers Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland, Freddy Garcia and Jose Contreras threw four straight complete games to send the White Sox to their first World Series since 1959, marking a notable achievement in postseason history.
