Already 29-20 and tied for first in the American League’s first season as a major league, the White Sox began a run of 10 straight wins with a shutout of the Philadelphia A’s, 4-0. Clark Griffith got the complete-game victory, his 10th win of the season.
By the end of the streak, the White Sox were three games up in the AL. From there, the White Sox were only tied or a half-game out of first for six game days the rest of the season, cruising to the first MLB AL pennant.
The 10 straight wins remain tied for the seventh-longest winning streak in team history, along with streaks in 1919, 1937, 1957, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1976 and 1981.
