‘We’re Going to Be Contenders’: Martin Pérez Backs Up Bold White Sox Claim

The White Sox starting rotation has started the 2025 season on a historic run. In 23 innings, White Sox starters have yet to allow an earned run through four games. 

Martin Peréz was the latest White Sox hurler to add to the streak on Monday, tossing six scoreless innings against the Minnesota Twins. Pérez is now one of just two MLB pitchers since 1901 to throw 6.0-plus hitless innings with nine-plus strikeouts during his debut with a new team. The only other pitcher to accomplish that feat was Hideo Nomo in 2001.
