The Chicago White Sox ended their American League record-tying 21-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics, thanks to Andrew Benintendi's two-run homer and a strong performance from rookie pitcher Jonathan Cannon, who allowed just one run in six innings. This victory marked Chicago's first win since July 10, breaking a streak that tied the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, while the National League record is held by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies with 23 losses. Benintendi's home run was a pivotal moment as it provided the White Sox their first lead since late July. Manager Pedro Grifol expressed relief after the game, emphasizing the importance of moving forward from the team's struggles. The White Sox now sit at 28-88 for the season, having been held to one run or fewer in 32 games. The Athletics are expecting closer Mason Miller to return from the injured list soon, providing a potential boost to their roster.
