White Sox rookie Tristan Peters hits a home run in 5th straight game, tying franchise mark
- On Wednesday, Chicago White Sox rookie Tristan Peters hit a home run for the fifth consecutive game, tying a franchise record. Peters connected on a two-run drive in the fifth inning against the Texas Rangers.
- Adjusting his mechanics, Peters said he is "staying on my backside a little more," allowing him to let the ball travel longer and recognize pitches better. His prodigious slugging represents a hitter sacrificing nothing.
- Manager Will Venable praised the rookie's confidence, saying "He trusts his swing, he's letting the ball travel." The streak places Peters in rare company with club legends Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko, and Munetaka Murakami.
- With the White Sox offense enduring slumps from Murakami and Colson Montgomery, Peters' performance proved crucial while the bullpen faced exhaustion from 16 games in 16 days. The team broke open a big lead against Texas.
- Acquired for cash from the Rays last December, Peters told the Sun-Times that slumps are temporary for an impact player on this Central-leading White Sox team. His breakout 2026 season has been defined by wild pivots.
