White Sox losing streak reaches 19 as Kepler hits go-ahead, 7th-inning homer in Twins' 6-2 win

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Chicago White Sox extended their team-record losing streak to 19, giving up Max Kepler’s tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning that lifted the Minnesota Twins to a 6-2 win on Saturday night.

“It can’t go on forever,” White Sox starter Garrett Crochet said. “Showing up to the field every day, we’re expecting to break the streak."

Chicago’s losing streak is the longest since Baltimore dropped 19 in a row in August 2021 and tied the seventh-longest since 1901.

The White Sox were held to three hits for the second straight night and to three hits or fewer for the 12th time this season.
