The 21-game nightmare for the Chicago White Sox is finally over.
Jonathan Cannon threw six innings of one-run ball and Andrew Benintendi hit his 10th home run of the season to lead the White Sox to a 5-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, snapping a 21-game losing streak.
The streak was tied for the longest in American League history. The NL record is 23 straight losses, set by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies.
"It was just really good to get this behind us. I thought we played a clean game today," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters.
