I went to Guaranteed Rate Field Sunday to watch the Chicago White Sox, who at the time had just 34 wins. To put that into context, the New York Yankees (who secured a ticket to the postseason Wednesday) already had about that many wins back in mid-May when they played the Sox.

As perseverance fades into futility, the Chicago White Sox, enduring the most miserable campaign in modern Major League Baseball history, are struggling to avoid setting an MLB season loss record.

Eric Wagaman scored with one out in the 13th inning when Jordyn Adams' grounder deflected off the glove of third baseman Miguel Vargas, and the Los Angeles Angels dealt the Chicago White Sox their 117th loss,

Davis Martin pitched well for the Sox in the loss, allowing three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks in five innings.

Eric Wagaman scored with one out in the 13th inning as the Angels defeat the White Sox, handing Chicago its near-record 117th loss.

The White Sox were trying to equal a season-high, four-game winning streak. Instead, they moved one step closer to the majors' post-1900 record of 120 losses by the 1962 expansion New York Mets.
