White Sox Lose to Athletics After Ending Losing Streak

The Oakland Athletics rallied to a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, with key RBI singles from Armando Alvarez and Zack Gelof and a sacrifice fly from Lawrence Butler in the seventh inning. This defeat marks the White Sox's 10th straight series loss, following their American League record-tying 21-game losing streak. Chicago has struggled significantly, now at 28-89, and has not won consecutive games since June. Oakland, on the other hand, improved to 5-1-1 in its last seven series. Despite a strong start from Chicago's Davis Martin, who pitched six scoreless innings, the White Sox's bullpen faltered. The White Sox's season has been marred by trades, poor management, and an ongoing struggle with consistency, raising questions about the team's future direction.
