White Sox snap AL record-tying 21-game losing streak with 5-1 win against the Athletics

The Chicago White Sox ended their 21-game losing streak by defeating the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Tuesday night. Andrew Benintendi’s two-run home run and Jonathan Cannon’s solid pitching performance helped secure the much-needed victory for the White Sox. The team’s losing streak matched an American League record and was a significant relief for the players and manager Pedro Grifol.
Despite the win, the White Sox did not celebrate extensively, emphasizing their focus on the game ahead. Cannon, who had been winless in six road starts, delivered a strong performance to earn his first victory since July. Benintendi’s offensive contributions and the team effort were highlighted as key factors in the win.
The Athletics were unable to generate much offense against the White Sox pitching staff, with Zack Gelof’s home run accounting for their only run. The White Sox scored two runs in the sixth inning to secure the victory.
The win marked a turning point for the White Sox, who have struggled throughout the season. The team will look to build on this momentum in upcoming games, with a focus on continuing their success. The Athletics will aim to bounce back in their next game, with closer Mason Miller expected to be activated after a period of injury.
