Chicago White Sox‘s MLB season came to an emphatic end on Tuesday, with a 10-1 loss to AL West champion Houston Astros in Game 4 of a Division Series.

Stacked with stars and led by Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa, another early exit wasn’t what they envisioned.

The White Sox won their first division championship in 13 years and gave back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time. They were knocked out by Oakland Athletics in the wild-card round last year. This year, they bowed out in humbling fashion against the Astros.  And it’s not clear if La Russa will return next season.

“I’m not gonna talk about myself. The process I’ve used once I had a little security — probably about the fifth or sixth year — is ‘do they want you back?’ I just leave if they don’t want you back. They say yes, then you ask the players. They should choose who they want to manage. If you get both of those, then you check yourself,” La Russa was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

The White Sox looked like a contender all year, boasting a top-notch lineup and pitching staff until they ran into the October-proven Astros.

The White Sox got outscored 15-5 and didn’t even get an extra-base hit while dropping the first two games in Houston. The team with the best home record in the American League took Game 3 at Guaranteed Rate Field 12-6, only to get eliminated in its own ballpark.

Carlos Rodón gave up a double to Jose Altuve on the game’s first pitch, then seemed to settle in. He retired the next three batters, striking out Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez on 99 mph fastballs to end the threat.

Rodón pitched around a leadoff single by Carlos Correa in the second. But he hit Altuve in the third, one of the few times the crowd of 40,170 cheered during the game, and issued back-to-back walks to Bregman and Alvarez to load the bases with two out.

Correa then chased Rodón with a two-run double to put Houston on top 2-1, and the White Sox never really recovered.

It was a rough end for Chicago after going 93-69 and beating the Cleveland Indians by 13 games in the division. The White Sox finished with their highest win total since the 2005 World Series championship team went 99-63, even though key players such as Luis Robert and Eloy Jiménez missed time with injuries.

Rodón made his first All-Star team and set a career-high in wins, going 13-5 with a 2.37 ERA. But with an expiring contract, he’s looking at an uncertain future.

Rodón, who has a history of arm and shoulder injuries, threw just 28 innings over the final two months of the regular season.

The White Sox also didn’t get the starts they hoped for from Lance Lynn, Lucas Giolito, or Dylan Cease in the playoffs. And now, their season is over.
