The White Sox become the first team to go from three consecutive 100-loss seasons to the postseason with a victory today, and the AL Central division winner can clinch the second seed through a couple of combinations:
- Cleveland win and an Astros loss
- White Sox win and a Rangers loss
Colson Montgomery can also clinch a less fortunate kind of history. He enters with game with 222 strikeouts. With one more, he'll own the White Sox single-season record outright, as he currently shares it with Adam Dunn. With two more, he'll break the MLB single-season record held by Mark Reynolds.
