“It means a lot,” Vargas said of the honor before Monday’s game against the Seattle Mariners at Rate Field.

The month ended Saturday with the Sox losing five of six after falling 4-2 to the Baltimore Orioles in front of 23,470 at Camden Yards.

The Baltimore Orioles meet the Chicago White Sox looking to sweep their three-game series.

Sox batters have drawn walks more consistently this year as well, with the team on pace for 511 walks this season compared to the league’s worst 395 walks last year.
