Rangers 10, White Sox 0: Luisangel Acuña pitched - Sox Machine

What the report says

Sox Machine reported that the Texas Rangers routed the Chicago White Sox 10-0 on July 21 at Globe Life Field, a game defined by Texas’ constant contact and Chicago’s almost absent offense. The Rangers finished with 18 hits to the White Sox’s three, while Chicago was shut out for the eighth time this season.

The recap focused on Noah Schultz, who did not walk a batter for a second consecutive start but still allowed 11 hits over 3 ⅔ innings. Brandon Nimmo’s first-inning two-run homer put Texas ahead early, and the Rangers kept adding on with a mix of hard contact and well-placed hits. Sox Machine noted Schultz generated only five swinging strikes on 43 swings, with his fastball and breaking ball both failing to miss enough bats.

Chicago’s relief work did not stop the damage. Trevor Richards and Tyler Schweitzer combined to give up seven hits and five runs over 3 ⅓ innings, including a two-run Alejandro Osuna single and a Wyatt Langford homer in the fifth. With the game out of reach, Luisangel Acuña handled the eighth inning and retired Texas in order in his second pitching appearance of the year.

For Texas, Kumar Rocker threw six innings of one-hit ball, and Marco Gonzales completed the shutout with a three-inning save in what Sox Machine described as his first major league outing since August 2024. The result left the White Sox at 53-47, while the site also noted Cleveland moved back into a tie for first place, adding relevance to the loss in the standings.
