The Chicago White Sox managed to avoid setting a new record for the most losses in a season for the second consecutive game by defeating the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Wednesday night. The victory came courtesy of Andrew Benintendi's 10th-inning single, which secured the win for the White Sox and prevented them from surpassing the 1962 New York Mets for the modern major league record for losses in a season.
Benintendi, who also delivered the go-ahead hit in the previous game, lined a single to left-center against José Quijada, allowing the White Sox to postpone the ignominy of a record-breaking loss. The team celebrated Benintendi's heroics by dousing him with a cooler of liquid, a tradition that Benintendi humorously acknowledged as both exciting and slightly uncomfortable.
