After winning five in a row to get five games above .500 on Aug. 16, the White Sox lost 10 of 12, dropping six games behind the American League Central-leading Guardians.
It has felt for days like the Sox (64-66) are out of the race. But if they want to suggest otherwise, stopping a five-game skid with a 4-2 victory Wednesday against the Royals and starting a needed hot streak would help.
