colson montgomery ended it with one swing on April 29, 2026, driving a walk-off single that gave the Chicago White Sox a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels at Rate Field. The hit pushed the White Sox through April without falling out of contention.
Montgomery at Rate Field
Montgomery, the White Sox shortstop, was doused with water after the winning hit. The finish came in a one-run game that stayed tight until the final at-bat, with the 3-2 scoreline settling everything at Rate Field.
The walk-off capped a month in which Chicago remained in the race while the schedule was still in its first month. That timing matters because the standings picture was still early enough that one game could move a team a little, but not enough to define a season.
Chicago Stays In Contention
The White Sox ended April without falling out of contention. With one month gone in the MLB season, the broader view still belonged to the same basic fact: it was too early to look at the standings as if they were settled.
For Chicago, that leaves the win as more than a clean finish to a game. It bought another day in the chase and kept the month from closing on a slide that could have changed the tone around the club.
Angels Leave With A Loss
For the Angels, the last pitch turned a close game into a loss at the exact point where one clean swing decided it. Chicago needed only the single from Montgomery, and the game ended there.
The White Sox now carry a 3-2 win out of April and a shortstop who finished the night with the kind of play that changes a box score immediately. The month is done, and Chicago is still in the mix.
