First win in 27 days since the 11th of last month.
The Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB) broke their 21-game losing streak by defeating the Oakland Athletics.
The White Sox won 5-1 in an away game against Oakland Athletics held at the Oakland Coliseum in California, USA on the 7th (Korean time).
The White Sox, who had lost 21 games starting with the second game of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on the 11th of last month, won for the first time in 27 days.
The previous day, the White Sox had lost 21 straight games, tying the American League (AL) record for most consecutive losses. The Baltimore Orioles, who were in the AL in 1988, had lost 21 straight games.
However, the White Sox escaped the tunnel of a long losing streak and avoided the dishonor of the longest losing streak.
Since the baseball rules were established in 1900, the major league record for most consecutive losses is 23, set by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961. If you include the record before 1900, the 26 consecutive losses set by the Lewis Colonels in 1889 is the record for most consecutive losses in a
single MLB season. However, the White Sox are still in danger of breaking the MLB record for most losses in a single season. Their season record is 28 wins and 88 losses, a winning percentage of just 0.241. If this trend continues, there is a high possibility that they will break the record for most losses in a single season. The most losses in a season since the 20th century is 120 losses (40 wins) recorded by the New York Mets in 1962. 파워볼사이트
