(27-87) (46-67)
Wow! Twenty straight losses. The White Sox are now in a tie for the seventh-worst losing streak in MLB history and head to Oakland, where they’ve historically struggled. A loss tonight would put them in a tie with the Baltimore Orioles for 6th-longest streak.
We’ll just leave this here. Let’s go for 21!
Per @ESPNStatsInfo: The White Sox are 27-87 this season, 60 games under .500 — on Aug. 4.

That is the earliest date into a season a team is 60 games under .500 for the first time since the Cleveland Spiders in 1899 (August 1).
