White Sox finally clinch first series win of 2024 on Andrew Benintendi's walk-off home run vs. Rays

Break out the champagne, Chicago White Sox ! Thanks to Andrew Benintendi's walk-off home run Saturday night ( CWS 8, TB 7 in 10 innings ), the White Sox have back-to-back wins for the first time this season, and also their first series win of 2024. They beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night ( CWS 9, TB 4 ) as well, and will look to finish the sweep on Sunday.

Here is Benintendi's walk-off blast. It was his second homer of the game (and his second homer of the season):

The White Sox entered this three-game weekend series at Guaranteed Rate Field with a 3-22 record, easily the worst in baseball. They are only the fourth team in history to drop 22 of their first 25 games . Even with these back-to-back wins, Chicago is 5-22. The White Sox are the ninth team ever to lose 22 of their first 27 games.

The two-game winning streak coincides with the arrival of Tommy Pham . The ChiSox signed Pham to a minor league contract on April 16, and after a four-game tune-up in the minors, he joined the White Sox for Friday's series opener against the Rays. Pham has gone 2-for-5 in each of his two games with the White Sox.

Chicago's wins Friday and Saturday leave the Colorado Rockies and Miami Marlins as the only teams in baseball without a series win this season. The Rockies and Marlins are both 0-7-1 in their eight series played so far. The White Sox are now 1-8 in nine series.

Erick Fedde , one of the White Sox's few bright spots this season, will be on the mound Sunday. He has a 2.73 ERA and has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts. Tampa will counter with Zack Littell (1-1, 3.33 ERA).
