Worth noting

• The White Sox hit one home run over the first three games of the Orioles series, but still led baseball with 44 homers in August entering Thursday's finale and remained tied for second in the Majors with 170 this season.

• Rookie Dylan Axelrod's one-run, three-hit performance in 7 1/3 innings on Wednesday night gave the White Sox 73 quality starts on the season, tied for first in the American League with Detroit, Oakland and Tampa Bay.
