The Sox matched an American League record Monday, suffering their 21st consecutive defeat with a 5-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum. The Sox share the distinction with the 1988 Baltimore Orioles.
Here's how the Sox, who are 27-88, reached yet another dubious mark.
The Chicago White Sox experienced a streak of 21 consecutive losses, matching the 1988 Baltimore Orioles and coming in second only to the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies in major-league history since 1901.
Loss No. 1: July 10 vs. Minnesota, Score: 3-2. Best chance to win: The Sox led 2-0 entering the sixth inning of Game 2 of the doubleheader. But the Twins hit back-to-back homers in the inning and went ahead with a run in the seventh.
