The White Sox lost their 21st straight game, tying an American League record, with a 5-1 defeat to the Oakland A's Monday as Max Schuemann hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the fourth inning to send Chicago into a tie with the 1988 Baltimore Orioles.
The major league low belongs to the 1889 Louisville Colonels, an American Association team that lost 26 consecutive games slide during a 27-111 season.
"We talk about it everyday, everybody knows what it is," Chicago manager Pedro Grifol said after the loss."It's 21 in a row, it sucks, it's painful, it hurts, you name it. ... Like I said, it's not for lack of effort. Nobody wants to come out here and lose."
