White Sox lose 100th game of 2024 as dismal season wears on
The Chicago White Sox picked up loss No. 100 on Sunday and are on pace for one of the worst seasons in Major League Baseball history with 31 games remaining on their docket.
This loss was a 9-4 result at the hands of the Detroit Tigers. Andy Ibáñez hit a home run and had three RBI for the Tigers in the win. Colt Keith also had three RBI for Detroit.

Andrew Vaughn gave a valiant effort for the White Sox. He had a homer and two RBI. Jonathan Cannon gave up five runs and eight hits in four innings.
The White Sox need to go 12-19 down the stretch to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1. That Mets team has the modern record for most losses in a season. The Cleveland Spiders have the all-time record with 20-134 in 1899.
