The Chicago White Sox faced a dismal end to their season, ultimately setting a modern major league record with 121 losses after a 4-1 defeat to the Detroit Tigers, who clinched a playoff berth. Prior to this, the Sox had briefly avoided this record by winning against the Los Angeles Angels, with Andrew Benintendi contributing crucial hits in their last two victories. Despite the team's struggles, rookie Zach DeLoach celebrated his first career homer during the Tigers game. The White Sox's record now stands at 39-121, surpassing the previous record held by the 1962 Mets. Meanwhile, the Tigers have excelled, boasting a 31-11 record since mid-August, solidifying their playoff position. As the season concludes, fan frustrations with the team's management have been vocalized, with calls for action directed at chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.
