CHICAGO – Their division lead chipped away, the pressure is mounting for the White Sox.

The Sox carried a five-game losing streak into Monday’s series opener against Cleveland to kick off a seven-game homestand, their final of the regular season. They haven’t performed well under pressure lately, going 3 for 42 (.071 average) with runners in scoring position to leave 40 on base in their past six games entering the homestand.

Even in their 5-4 comeback win against the Indians, they finished 2 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
