OAKLAND, Calif.—The Chicago White Sox lost their 21st consecutive game, tying the American League record, with a 5–1 defeat to the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. Max Schuemann’s tiebreaking, two-run single in the fourth inning created the latest hole the White Sox could not escape.
Chicago is on the longest losing streak since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles lost 21 in a row. The National League record since 1900 is held by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies, who lost 23 straight.
