CLEVELAND — General manager Rick Hahn recently spoke of the frustration felt throughout the White Sox organization over the team’s indefensible record.

“At times it’s difficult to find the bright spots,” Hahn said. “But on a nightly basis we are trying to find things, and there are things we believe, on most nights, that are positive indicators of where this thing is headed.”

But it was difficult to find any bright spots after a 9-1 loss to the Indians on Wednesday. The Sox were swept for the eighth time this season, leaving them 2-13 in their last 15 road games and 16-37 overall.

The Sox kept the media out of the clubhouse for 25 minutes afterward while the players had a meeting about staying together.

Manager Rick Renteria said there was no meeting, while third baseman Yolmer Sanchez said there was a meeting but it was private.

“What happened in the game happened,” Sanchez said. “We’re going to enjoy our day off (Thursday) with our family and friends and come back Friday.

“I think (Wednesday) we did our best, no doubt. I know how hard we’ve been working. … We’ll do the best that we can and do the little things and figure out how to win.”

Here are a few of the not-so-bright spots:

Reynaldo Lopez, the team’s top starter, was shelled for seven runs in 2 2/3 innings in what was supposed to be battle of aces with Corey Kluber. Lopez fell to 1-4 on the year and watched his ERA rise to 3.80.

Sox hitters struck out 10 times over six shutout innings by Kluber, who scattered three hits and left after 90 pitches. “Ultimately we didn’t do a whole lot of scoring,” Renteria said. “Kluber was Kluber.” The Sox struck out 12 times. Adam Engel struck out in all three at-bats, giving him 43 strikeouts with only one home run in 140 at-bats.

Catcher Omar Narvaez went 0-for-3 to finish 1-for-10 on the trip. The two Sox catchers, Narvaez and Alfredo Gonzalez, are hitting a combined .105 (2-for-19) since the start of Welington Castillo’s 80-game PED suspension. A roster move to replace Gonzalez should be imminent.

Daniel Palka, the designated hitter inserted into right field by Renteria, made another defensive gaffe to put the game out of reach, diving for a sinking liner and watching it roll past him for a two-run double. “It got away and ended up getting a few more runs in,” Renteria said.

On Monday Palka muffed a fly ball for a three-run double, so there was some slight improvement.

All in all, another lost week for the Sox, who are on pace for 113 losses.

Perhaps the only bright spot was the possibility of Carlos Rodon returning to the Sox rotation Sunday against the Brewers after the left-hander threw five shutout innings on 86 pitches for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday in his third rehab start.

“We still want him to get up six times, get a little higher (pitch count),” Renteria said before the game. “So we’re still discussing it, we’ll see where we’re at after the discussion.”

So he’s not in the rotation this weekend?

“Not at the moment, we’re still discussing it,” Renteria said.

But it’s a possibility?

“We’re still discussing it,” he repeated.

The Sox later announced Dylan Covey would start Sunday, eliminating that potential bright spot.

With Kluber on the mound with a 7-0 lead after three innings, the only thing left to do was wait to get out of town. With the Sox trailing 9-0 in the ninth, Sanchez belted a 449-foot home run to center field to spoil the shutout bid.

Bright spot?

It’ll have to suffice.
