White Sox extend franchise-record losing streak to 20, MLB's longest since 1988

The Minnesota Twins beat the White Sox, 13-7 on Sunday, extending Chicago's franchise-record losing streak to 20 games, one shy of the American League record.

Chicago's streak is the longest in MLB in 36 years, dating back to the 1988 Baltimore Orioles. Those Orioles got off to an 0-21 start for the longest losing streak in AL history.

A White Sox loss on Monday at the Oakland Athletics would tie those Orioles. The White Sox are three straight losses from tying the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies, who hold the MLB record with 23 consecutive losses.
