The Chicago White Sox suffered the humiliation of tying the record for the most consecutive losses in the history of the American League (AL) of Major League Baseball (MLB).
The White Sox were crushed 1-5 in an away game against the 2024 MLB Oakland Athletics held at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, USA on the 6th (Korean time).
The White Sox’s loss extended their losing streak to 21, dating back to the game against Minnesota on the 11th of last month.
“With this loss, the White Sox tied with the Baltimore Orioles for the longest losing streak in American League history,” MLB.com reported.
The Baltimore Orioles previously lost 21 straight games in the American League in 1988.
With two more losses, the White Sox would tie the MLB record for longest losing streak since the 20th century.
Since the rules of baseball were established in 1900, the 스포츠 longest losing streak in MLB history is 23, set by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961. If we extend the period to the 19th century, the longest losing streak in MLB history is 26, set by the St. Louis Colonels in 1889.
The White Sox started Key Bush, who had never played a game in MLB, and he pitched four innings, allowing two hits, five walks, three strikeouts and three runs.
Although we didn’t get hit hard, the team’s batting lineup was too weak.
The White Sox hung their heads after scoring only one run on four hits.
The White Sox recorded 27 wins and 88 losses, a winning percentage of 0.235. They are the worst among the 30 teams.
If the current trend continues, they could even break the MLB record for most losses in a season (40 wins, 120 losses) since the 1962 New York Mets.
