First time over .500 in a long time
According to MLB.com Scott Merkin, this is the first time the White Sox have been over the .500 mark since March 30, 2022.
“White Sox win, 8-1. They are over .500 for the first time since March 30, 2023, when they won at Houston in the season opener. Great crowd, really solid all-around effort. Sean Burke goes six scoreless.”

The White Sox should have a good rest of the series, given how the bats looked today.
Jonathan Cannon will take the ball tomorrow for the Sox, while the Angels will send José Soriano.
