White Sox Narrowly Escape Record-Breaking Losses in MLB Tuesday Round-Up

White Sox Escape Historic Record

The White Sox narrowly avoided setting the modern MLB record for the most losses in a season on Tuesday with a home victory against the Los Angeles Angels. Trailing 2-0 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, the White Sox scored three runs to clinch a 3-2 win, securing their 37th win of the season. This victory keeps them tied with the 1962 expansion New York Mets for most losses in a single season.

Fans Show Discontent

At Guaranteed Rate Field, fans chanted for owner Jerry Reinsdorf to sell the team as they were eager to see history unfold. White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi remarked, “It’s been a long season.” He added, “People here tonight were maybe trying to see history...” The White Sox still have five games remaining to set this unwanted record.

General Manager's Perspective

General Manager Chris Getz acknowledged the challenges that led to this record, saying, “There’s a myriad of reasons why we stand here today with the record that we have.” Yet he views this as an opportunity to build something new.

Upcoming Games

The White Sox will face the Angels again on Wednesday as they attempt to shake off their poor performance throughout the season. Stay tuned for updates.
