The Chicago White Sox needed a lift after scratching infielder Miguel Vargas moments before Saturday’s game because of a left oblique strain. Aaron Civale delivered.

Should the White Sox maintain this current pace, they'll finish the season with 61 victories -- a 20-game improvement. However many games Chicago wins the rest of the way, each and everyone will represent a step forward. For an idea of how far ahead these White Sox are compared to last year's group, take a look at their milestone wins by date:

The 1-0 squeaker was arguably the most impressive win this season, as Anaheim could only put up one hit, and the White Sox held on for eight innings with just a one-run lead. With one game left to go, the South Siders have claimed the series and will go for a sweep tomorrow.
