SAN DIEGO -- The Chicago White Sox tied the American League record with their 119th loss on Saturday night, when Xander Bogaerts and Elias Diaz each hit a two-run homer to help the San Diego Padres win 6-2 and move closer to a playoff spot.
The White Sox (36-119) matched the AL mark set by the 2003 Detroit Tigers, who finished 43-119. One more defeat for Chicago over its final seven games would equal the post-1900 record of 120 losses by the 1962 expansion New York Mets, and two more would set the new record.
