Summaries by month

April

2010 White Sox Opening Day.

On the

fan interference ground rule double which two men scored from first and second making it 4–2 Mariner lead. Then in the bottom frame, the Sox scored three runs via two home runs, one by Paul Konerko (solo shot) and a walk-off by Alex Ríos (two-run homer), which made it 5–4. On the next day, White Sox swept the Mariners at a score of 3–2 with Paul Konerko's GW home run in the eighth inning. Paul Konerko
broke the franchise record for most home runs hit during the month of April with 11. However the Sox finished the month with a not-so good record of 9–14.

May

On May 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays at home,

Florida Marlins in first interleague play, the Sox took the victory 8–0 as Alexei Ramírez
had 5 RBIs with two-run double and three-run homer. Two days later, the Sox suffered a big shut-out loss 13–0 to the Marlins on Sunday. The Sox finished the month with a record of 13–14.

June

On June 13 against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Gavin Floyd pitched a no-hitter through 6.2 innings before allowing a double to Alfonso Soriano and then the next batter scored Soriano by Chad Tracy's RBI single. The opposing pitcher Ted Lilly didn't allow a hit through 8+ innings before allowing a single to Juan Pierre. Later that inning, the bases were loaded, so it would have golden opportunities for Sox to score some runs, but failed. The Sox failed to sweep the Cubs as they lose 1–0 with one hit for Sox and three hits for Cubs. From June 12–20, they went eight straight games without hitting home runs, their longest since 1989, which they went nine straight homerless games. However, during their homerless streak, the Sox went 7–1, thanks to their starting pitching. During their span, the Sox have won six straight without hitting home runs for the first time since 1942. Then on June 22 against the Atlanta Braves, Carlos Quentin blasted a 3-run homer in the fourth inning, snapping their 8-game homerless streak in a 9–6 seventh straight win. For the Braves, they snapped their 42-game winning streak when scoring five or more runs, dating back to last season. From June 15–24, the Sox went three-consecutive three-game sweeps for the first time in franchise history. They swept the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals on the road, and Atlanta Braves at home. They have won eleven in a row for the first time since June 1961, which they have won twelve in a row. The Sox finished the month with an awesome 18–9 record.

July

On July 5–8, the Sox got their four-game sweep over the Los Angeles Angels for the first time since 2005 when they swept the Astros in the World Series. On July 11 against the Kansas City Royals, Andruw Jones hit his 400th career home run in third inning, 46th player in major league history to accomplish this feat. Also the Sox hit five home runs in the game, including four in third inning, tying their franchise history, including two back-to-backs. The Sox swept the Royals with a 15−5 victory and finished with a perfect homestand 7–0. From June 8 until the All-Star break, the Sox were 25–5, their best in MLB. On June 8, the Sox were 24–33 and 9½ games out of the first place. Just 40 days later, the Sox were 50–41 and were in first place by 1½ games over the Detroit Tigers. On July 18 against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, the Sox led 6–3 going into the bottom of the ninth inning. Then the Twins scored four runs without getting anybody out and suffering Sox their first walk-off loss of the season. Just three days later, the Sox suffered another walk-off loss, this time in extra innings at Seattle Mariners. The Sox scored one run in the top 11 and then Mariners came back with two in the bottom 11. One day after that defeat by Mariners, manager Ozzie Guillén was considering J. J. Putz to replace Bobby Jenks as a closer after blowing his save twice over his last three appearances. On July 23, Mark Buehrle celebrated one-year anniversary of his perfect game by taking a complete game victory over the Oakland Athletics in Oakland. He allowed 1 earned run, 4 hits, 0 walk and 2 strikeouts. From July 26–29, the Sox swept the four-game series over the Seattle Mariners for the first time since 1994 and finished the season series versus the Mariners 9–1 and outscoring them 58–26.
