White Sox Struggle Continues: 10-Game Losing Streak Marks the Low Point of the 2024 MLB Season
The Chicago White Sox are facing their worst stretch of the 2024 MLB season as they suffered their 10th consecutive loss against the Milwaukee Brewers. This defeat makes them the first team this season to reach such a milestone, surpassing the Miami Marlins’ nine-game losing streak at the start of the year. The White Sox have now lost 14 of their last 15 games, with no other team in the league experiencing such a prolonged slump this year.
In their latest game, the White Sox blew a 3-1 lead against the Brewers, ultimately losing in extra innings. Lefty Garrett Crochet put on a solid performance, holding the Brewers to one run over six innings. However, Willy Adames played a crucial role in the Brewers’ comeback, tying the game in the seventh inning and delivering the winning hit in the 10th.
This 10-game losing streak ties the White Sox for the longest in franchise history since 1998. If they fail to secure a win in their upcoming game, they will tie for the fourth-longest losing streak in franchise history. To break into the top three, they will have to continue their losing streak into the following week.
With a current record of 15-44, the White Sox hold the worst mark in the majors this season. Despite their struggles, they will not be able to benefit from a high draft pick next year due to their lottery placement and lack of revenue sharing. This challenging period for the White Sox serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of baseball and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
