Latest loss: 2-0 to the Oakland Athletics (Friday)
It appeared Andrew Vaughn had taken ball four.
But instead of the bases loaded and one out in the sixth inning of Friday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, Vaughn remained in the box when plate umpire Brian Walsh called a strike on a 3-0 pitch that, according to MLB Statcast, missed high.
Vaughn eventually struck out. And the best scoring chance for the White Sox fizzled when Lenyn Sosa lined out to left.
Momentum never went the Sox way in a 2-0 loss to the A’s in front of 26,513 at Guaranteed Rate Field. It was loss No. 115 for the Sox, extending their franchise record. The 115 losses are tied for the fourth most during MLB’s modern era. The Baltimore Orioles finished 47-115 in 2018 and the 1935 Boston Braves went 38-115.

Notable streaks this season
The Sox have had three double-digit losing streaks — 14 games from May 22-June 6, an AL record-tying 21 straight from July 10-Aug. 5 and 12 consecutive from Aug. 23-Sept. 3.
Their skid of 20 straight series losses ended Sunday after back-to-back wins over the Oakland Athletics. Those two victories also broke a streak of not having won consecutive games since a stretch of three straight victories June 27-29.
They snapped their current stretch of 16 consecutive home losses Saturday, which also was a franchise record.
