<p>The <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox" >White Sox’</a> season has included its share of memorable moments. There was Edgar Quero’s <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2026/05/17/believe-in-the-white-sox-their-confidence-is-growing-and-rightly-so-after-sundays-9-8-win-over-the-cubs" >walk-off home run</a> to beat the Cubs, and Braden Montgomery <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2026/06/10/braden-montgomery-white-sox-walk-off-home-run-steve-stone-bob-costas-will-venable-colson-montgomery" >marking his debut with his own game-winning home run</a> against the Braves.</p><p>On Saturday, the Sox were almost on the wrong end of history.</p><p>Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto retired the first 23 batters and appeared to be heading into the ninth inning with a perfect game but Mookie Betts mishandled Chase Meidroth’s grounder, giving the White Sox their first baserunner with two outs in the eighth inning. Tristan Peters then broke up the no-hitter and shutout with a home run to lead off the ninth.</p><p>Peters’ home run did little to give the Sox a chance to rally, and they ended up losing 7-1 to snap their eight-game home winning streak.</p><p>An eight-time All-Star and the 2018 American League Most Valuable Player, Betts said he was very aware of the perfect game and not blaming the tricky hop for the error.</p><p>“Just a routine ground ball that I missed,” Betts said.
