CHICAGO -- Colson Montgomery has knocked out nine home runs since joining the White Sox on July 4.
None of them had the impact of his first-inning blast during a 6-4 victory over the Guardians on Sunday afternoon at Rate Field. That drive to right helped end a six-game losing streak for the White Sox, who improved to 11-10 since the All-Star break, but it also covered a Statcast-projected 452 feet, making it the longest home run during the 2025 season at home. The homer bounced on to the concourse, which is a feat rarely seen at the Rate.
Montgomery’s homer followed Lenyn Sosa’s two-run shot, both coming off Cleveland starter Slade Cecconi, staking the White Sox (43-75) to a 3-0 lead. The early support helped make a winner of Davis Martin (4-9), who allowed three runs over five-plus
