The White Sox extended their franchise-record losing streak to 19 games last night, losing to the Twins 6-2. They are now tied for the 12th-longest losing streak in MLB history and have tied the 2005 Royals and the 2021 Orioles for the longest losing streak in the Wild Card era. They are two games away from tying the American League record, set by the 1988 Orioles, and four from the modern record, owned by the 1961 Phillies.
The White Sox will look to snap their losing streak this afternoon by sending Chris Flexen to the mound. They have lost Flexen’s previous 15 appearances, last winning a game he pitched on May 8th. It has been 24 days since the White Sox last won a game and Pedro Grifol is still employed.
