The Chicago White Sox suffered their 100th loss of the season in a 9-4 defeat to the Detroit Tigers, putting them on pace for one of the worst seasons in Major League Baseball history with 31 games remaining. Andy Ibáñez and Colt Keith led the Tigers with three RBI each, while Andrew Vaughn had a homer and two RBI for the White Sox. Jonathan Cannon struggled on the mound, giving up five runs and eight hits in just four innings. The White Sox now need to go 12-19 down the stretch to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets for the modern record of most losses in a season.
The loss marked only the second time in White Sox history that they reached 100 losses, with the first coming in 1970 when they finished 56-106. Chicago also had a poor showing in 1932 when they had a .325 winning percentage at 49-102-1. The 1916 Philadelphia A’s are the only team to reach 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox. Despite their struggles, the team remains determined to finish the season on a high note and avoid setting any unwanted records.
Following the continued downward spiral of the team, Chicago made the decision to fire Pedro Grifol on August 8 and named Grady Sizemore as the interim manager. Under Sizemore’s leadership, the White Sox have gone 3-11. The team’s struggles have been a disappointment for fans and management alike, as they look to regroup and plan for a more successful season ahead. The Associated Press contributed to the report on the White Sox’s recent loss and the challenges they face in the remaining games.
