Good morning!
In Thursday evening's blowout loss to the Red Sox, there was at least one bright spot fans could take with them: Andrew Vaughn's 2-5, multiple extra-base hit, 5 RBI night. On the season now, Vaughn is slashing .292/.349/.500 (146 OPS+) and with five home runs, is a third of a way to his 2021 home run total in far fewer games played.
The 5 RBI night actually marked the first time this season a White Sox player logged 5 RBI in a game, the last game coming when Yasmani Grandal had 8 in the wild 17-13 comeback victory against the Cubs in August of last season. So today, let's look at other games where Sox players have gotten at least 6 RBI in a game (Apologies to Andrew Vaughn, who will just have to do it some other game to get on the list. How about tonight?). That leaves us with 53 names: how many can you get? Good luck!
