Andrew Vaughn put in a valiant effort for the White Sox. He hit a home run and had two RBIs. Jonathan Cannon allowed five runs and eight hits in four innings.

The White Sox need to finish with a 12-19 record down the stretch to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40-120-1. That Mets team holds the modern record for most losses in a season. The Cleveland Spiders hold the all-time record at 20-134 in 1899.
