White Sox Set Modern MLB Record with 121st Loss in 4-1 Defeat to Tigers

Sep 28, 2024, 01:02 AM

The Chicago White Sox have set a modern MLB record for the most losses in a single season, with their 121st defeat coming against the Detroit Tigers. This surpasses the previous record of 120 losses held by the 1962 New York Mets. The White Sox lost 4-1 to the playoff-bound Tigers, who clinched their first postseason berth in a decade. Despite attempts to avoid the record, including a 7-0 win with Chris Flexen's stellar performance and a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, the White Sox ultimately could not stave off history. The White Sox have three games left in the season.
