Chicago White Sox Lose 20th Consecutive Game, Making Worst Kind of History

The Chicago White Sox are in the midst of a historic losing streak, dropping their 20th consecutive game on Sunday. This marks the longest losing streak in the majors in 36 years and is just one game short of the American League record. Manager Pedro Grifol expressed the team’s frustration, stating, “At the end of the day, we’ve lost 20 in a row. That’s painful. That sucks.”

The White Sox now hold the franchise record for the longest losing streak, surpassing the 1988 Baltimore Orioles who lost 21 games in a row. The team is now on pace to finish with a dismal 38-124 record, which would be the most losses since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders of the National League.

Despite the losing streak, the White Sox are trying to stay positive and focus on turning things around. Center fielder Luis Robert Jr. acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but emphasized the team’s commitment to keep pushing forward and trying to win games.

Next, the White Sox will face the Oakland Athletics in a three-game series, hoping to break their losing streak and turn their season around. With the team now 60 games below .500 for the first time in franchise history, the pressure is on for the White Sox to find a way to end their historic skid and start winning games again.
