most losses in the first 90 games of a season in the modern era.

triple in the fifth. The former No. 1 overall pick has 13 homers
this season, eight in the past month.
In his third career MLB game, Colson Montgomery had two hits and
an RBI for the White Sox. With two hits and an RBI, Mike
Tauchman improved his batting average to .372 over the past 11

earned run in 1 1/3 innings. Seth Halvorsen pitched a scoreless
ninth inning for his eighth save.
On the day he was selected for the All-Star Game, White Sox
starter Shane Smith (3-7) allowed five earned runs and five hits
in 4 1/3 innings.
