After nearly a month of racking up losses, the Chicago White Sox got themselves back in the win column with a 5-1 victory against the Oakland Athletics.
Chicago never trailed in Tuesday night's showdown with the Oakland Athletics, getting a two-run home run out of Andrew Benintendi in the fourth inning and never looking back. Rookie starting Jonathan Cannon allowed a solo home run and not much else over the course of 6.0 innings, and the White Sox held on to win 5-1.
Only the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies have posted a longer losing streak in MLB's modern era, dropping 23 decisions in a row. Even after winning Tuesday, Chicago remains 28-88 on the season. That puts the White Sox on pace for a 39-123 record, which would give them the second-most losses ever in an MLB season.
The 21-game losing streak was the longest in White Sox franchise history. The previous record also belonged to the 2024 team, as they lost 14 in a row between May and June earlier this year.
