The Chicago White Sox have ended their 21-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics. This win halts a streak that tied the American League record for consecutive losses, previously set by the 1988 Baltimore Orioles. The White Sox's record now stands at 28-88. The team had not won a game since July 10, making this their first win in nearly a month. Andrew Benintendi contributed significantly to the victory by hitting a two-run homer. The White Sox were approaching the modern MLB record of 23 consecutive losses held by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies.
