April 10, 2023 was the last time the White Sox won a game at Target Field, going 0 for their last 9 against the Twins on the road. So, as the White Sox returned to Minnesota last night, it seemed an inopportune place for them to try and break their 17-game losing streak. They have now lost ten in a row and Target Field and have extended their franchise-worst losing streak to 18 games.
A loss tonight would tie the White Sox with the 2005 Royals and the 2021 Orioles for the longest losing streak of the Wild Card era and would leave them just five behind the 1961 Phillies for the longest losing streak since 1900. Their season record is now 27-88. Only nine teams in MLB history have had a worse stretch of baseball, none of which occurred during a single season.
And, in case you were wondering, Pedro Grifol is still employed.
