ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The White Sox had lost four in a row and fallen four games below .500 before pulling out a needed 3-2 victory against the Rays on Saturday. For as bad as these underachievers have looked all season, they would like to assure you they were not losing the faith.
“We’re not even a third of the way into the season,” said closer Liam Hendriks, who finished off the win with a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts in his first appearance since Sunday. “If you worry about standings now, it’s the same as if you are in first place, it’s a distraction from what you need to focus on, which is the day to day.”
