Good morning, White Sox fans. Here’s the rundown:

LAST NIGHT: The White Sox went from playing the worst team in baseball to the best team in the American League, and the result was a 9-0 shutout at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles.

TONIGHT: Jesse Scholtens tries to avoid a trend of rough starts while Dean Kremer hunts for his 13th win.

DOWN ON THE FARM: Everybody’s off, but the rotations of the White Sox affiliates will look different when play resumes.

AROUND THE LEAGUE: Jose Altuve hits for the cycle, the Brewers keep winning, the Rangers stop losing, and Lucas Giolito keeps struggling.
