The Chicago White Sox were on the verge of a season-first sweep but faltered in a 5-4 loss to the Texas Rangers. With a one-run lead in the ninth inning, a string of errors and missed opportunities led to a two-run double by Adolis García, sealing the Sox's fate. Manager Will Venable emphasized the need to learn from these mistakes as the team prepares to face the New York Mets.

Key moments included a costly error by first baseman Lenyn Sosa on a ground ball, allowing Kyle Higashioka to reach base, and a poor decision by Michael A. Taylor to attempt a stolen base which resulted in a crucial out in the bottom of the ninth. Despite solo home runs from Vargas and Austin Slater, the White Sox could not capitalize. Rookie Chase Meidroth continued his impressive hitting streak, extending it to 12 games in the series.
