CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in a 10-inning walk-off win on May 29, 2026. Miguel Vargas hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning to secure the victory at Guaranteed Rate Field before an attendance of over 30,000.

Rikuu Nishida tied the game in the ninth inning with a sacrifice bunt that scored Andrew Benintendi from third base. The White Sox bullpen preserved the tie after starter Erick Fedde allowed two runs in four innings, with relief appearances from Sean Newcomb and Seranthony Dominguez following an inning and a third from opener Brandon Eisert.

"I said that earlier in the season," Vargas said of how good he thinks the Sox can be. "Probably a lot of people don’t believe me. I think the clubhouse did believe in that. We put that on the field every day." The win marked Chicago’s fourth walk-off victory of the 2026 season and its 15th comeback win.

Will Venable, the White Sox manager, praised the team’s consistency. "At this point you kind of feel like that it’s not just a good few games we had, or a good week where we were locked in and playing hard, but this is who they are." Venable added, "Just proud of the progress of the organization. We have something on the field that fans are excited to come watch and be a part of our games and the effort these guys are putting on the field. Just proud of the organization."

During the game, Detroit’s Munetaka Murakami left with a right hamstring strain after playing in every game of the season up to that point. Venable described the injury as "a little hamstring strain." and said Murakami might be sidelined for a couple of weeks. Murakami, who was tied for second in Major League Baseball with 20 home runs as of May 30, walked off the field under his own power.

Following the injury, the White Sox called up Jacob Gonzalez from Triple-A Charlotte, where he was batting .308 with an on-base percentage of .414, a slugging percentage of .646, and 18 home runs in 51 games. Gonzalez was pulled early from his Triple-A game on May 29 in anticipation of the promotion.

Andrew Benintendi emphasized the team’s focus and unity. "We’re exceeding everybody’s expectations so far." He added, "You start looking too far ahead, it’s unrealistic. If you show up to work every day, you do your routine, you go do your work, and you play."

As of May 30, the White Sox were three games above .500, ranked second in their division, and held nearly a 50 percent chance of making the playoffs.
