"Walks are always going to hurt you but it wasn't just the walks today," interim manager Grady Sizemore said. "I thought we had some good at-bats early but didn't capitalize on other opportunities, we didn't take care of the ball. It wasn't our best game."
At 31-108, the Sox are 77 games under .500 for the first time in franchise history. They need to go 12-11 over their final 23 games to avoid tying the expansion 1962 Mets (40-120) for the most losses in modern-day Major League Baseball history.
The Sox last won on Aug. 21, a dramatic 6-2 victory at San Francisco when the team scored four runs with two outs in the ninth inning. They went 0-10 during the homestand that followed, the first time that has occurred in franchise history.
Chris Flexen extended his winless start streak to 20, another franchise mark. The Sox suffered their 11th consecutive defeat while getting hammered 13-3 in front of 35,906 on Monday at Camden Yards.
