Chicago White Sox Hit Historic Low
Struggles Continue for South Siders
More than 27 Games Under .500 for First Time
The Chicago White Sox are enduring a historic season as they fell to 27-85 on Wednesday night, marking the first time in franchise history that they have been more than 57 games under .500.
The Sox have lost 17 straight games, extending their franchise record. They are now 58 games under .500, which is also a franchise record.
The Sox were shut out for the 12th time this season on Wednesday night, falling 10-2 to the Texas Rangers. They have been shut out more times than any other team in Major League Baseball.
The Sox have struggled all season, but their recent slide has been particularly alarming. They have lost 22 of their last 25 games and have been outscored by a total of 145-48 during that stretch.
The Sox are now on pace to lose more than 110 games this season, which would be the most in franchise history. The Sox have never lost more than 100 games in a season.
The Sox's struggles have been due in part to a number of injuries. They have had several key players on the disabled list, including Avisail Garcia, Jose Abreu, and Carlos Rodon.
The Sox have also been hurt by a lack of production from their offense. They are last in the American League in runs scored and batting average.
The Sox's struggles have led to speculation that manager Rick Renteria could be fired. Renteria is in his third season with the Sox and has a record of 171-286.
The Sox have not made a playoff appearance since 2008. They have not won a World Series since 2005.
