The standings don’t look great for the White Sox, but they could be worse. Manager Pedro Grifol claims not to pay much attention to other American League Central teams unless they’re playing the Sox.
‘‘I don’t really look at the division that much,’’ Grifol said before the Sox beat the Astros 3-1 on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak. ‘‘This is the team I’m concerned with. We’ve got to fix our own stuff, our own troubles. We have to improve in a lot of areas. And other teams can’t win the division for us; we have to go take it. We have to improve and win the division ourselves.
