The Chicago White Sox's struggles continued as they tied the American League record for losses in a season with their 119th defeat against the San Diego Padres. Key performances from Xander Bogaerts and Elias Diaz, who each hit two-run homers, propelled the Padres to a 6-2 victory, keeping them firmly in the race for a playoff spot.
The White Sox matched the previous record set by the 2003 Detroit Tigers and are now just one loss away from reaching the post-1900 record of 120 losses. Chris Flexen's ongoing difficulty allows the Padres to secure a critical victory, while they inch closer to a second playoff berth in three seasons.
