All smiles: Lenyn Sosa’s first career major league home run broke the scoreless tie. | Ed Zurga/ Yoán Moncada also went deep, and Davis Martin had a great performance during the low-scoring victory Largely thanks to a strong pitching performance and a memorable day for rookie Lenyn Sosa, the White Sox (56-54) managed to split the doubleheader against the Royals (45-66) with a 3-2 win in the nightcap.

South Side Sox Player of the Week (July 22-30): AJ Pollock
Mitch Ransdell/South Side Sox Pollo goes on a post-All Star break tear, repeatedly coming in clutch as the ChiSox grasp onto the .500 Club It’s safe to say that the White Sox won the Craig Kimbrel trade. Well, OK, maybe not that one. But really, if AJ Pollock had simply rolled around in the Sox outfield for a few innings gnawing on fistfuls of sod, this spring’s trade would’ve been considered a pretty successful swap. The L.A. Dodgers got sold a lemon, as the Cubs-cursed-Kimbrel continues a downward spiral. Oh well, no take-backs! Pollock, the one-time All-Star...

Gamethread: Guardians at White Sox (nightcap)
AJ Pollock in center field, outfield defense gonna be tight tonight. | David Banks-USA TODAY Sports Konnor Pilkington isn’t good, is he? Oh no, he’s about to be, isn’t he? Happy double Saturday, White Sox fans, and welcome to your masochistic doubleheader closing game. If you stuck with the game earlier, ouch. Maybe the several-hours break won’t have a negative effect on the White Sox offense. Maybe Lance Lynn needed those few warm-up games fresh off the IL, and he’ll be lights-out tonight. Maybe the Guardians will start getting bad, like I lied to myself...
