SAN DIEGO -- The Chicago White Sox tied the American League record with their 119th loss on Saturday night, when Xander Bogaerts and Elias Diaz each hit a two-run homer to help the San Diego Padres win 6-2 and move closer to a playoff spot.
The White Sox (36-119) matched the AL mark set by the 2003 Detroit Tigers, who finished 43-119. One more defeat for Chicago over its final seven games would equal the post-1900 record of 120 losses by the 1962 expansion New York Mets, and two more would set the new record. The 1899 Cleveland Spiders hold the overall major league record for losses at 20-134.
