The team dropped its 20th straight game 13-7 to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. One more will put Chicago in the same company as the 1988 Baltimore Orioles.
The all-time modern MLB record is in striking distance as well. The Philadelphia Phillies suffered 23 defeats in a row in 1961.
Sunday’s contest was at least over early.
An error by second baseman Brooks Baldwin extended the first inning and allowed the Twins to put two runs on the board. Minnesota plated six more in the second to take a commanding 8-0 lead.

The White Sox allowed their fans to turn their attention elsewhere to make the most of their Sunday afternoon.
If anybody on the South Side decided to catch the action elsewhere around MLB, then they might’ve seen Eloy Jiménez go 3-for-5 in the Baltimore Orioles’ 9-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Jiménez, whose exit at the trade deadline was celebrated by some, is enjoying his change of scenery.

The good news for Chicago is it heads to the West Coast for a three-game set with the 46-66 Oakland Athletics. Surely manager Pedro Grifol’s squad can take one of those three matchups and bring this seemingly endless losing streak to a close.
