Chicago White Sox lose 121st game this season, most in baseball history
The Chicago White Sox fell 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers on Friday for their 121st loss of the season, the most in MLB history. The mark broke the previous record set by the expansion New York Mets in 1962.
Chicago won 93 games and the American League Central division in 2021 but has been in a steady decline since. The White Sox won 81 games in 2022 and 61 last season. They’ve won 39 games so far this season, with two games left.
Offense has been Chicago’s most glaring issue. The White Sox are ranked near the bottom in many major statistical categories, and entered Tuesday last in the MLB in hits, runs, home runs, batting average, runs batted in, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. (The team is second-to-last in walks drawn, however.)
First baseman Andrew Vaughn, hitting .248 this season, has the highest batting average on the team (and 87th in the league).
The White Sox began the season 3-22, the worst 25-game start in franchise history.
