On Sunday, Sean Manaea delivered an impressive performance, pitching two-hit ball over seven innings, leading the New York Mets to a 2-0 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Francisco Lindor contributed significantly by hitting his 29th home run, giving the Mets a crucial lead in the fourth inning. This win marked a significant moment for the White Sox, as they set a franchise record with their 107th loss of the season, surpassing the previous record set in 1970. The White Sox's struggles continued as they completed a historic 0-10 homestand, becoming the first team since the 1965 Mets to experience three 10-game losing streaks in a single season. Their performance since the All-Star break has been dismal, with a record of 4-36, and they have lost 12 consecutive games at Guaranteed Rate Field, matching their season high. Despite the team's challenges, Garrett Crochet showcased his talent by tying an American League record by striking out the first seven batters he faced, finishing with eight strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. However, the White Sox's inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, including a failed attempt to steal second base in the seventh inning, ultimately led to their defeat. As the White Sox prepare for a six-game road trip, there is hope for a potential return of third baseman Yoán Moncada, who is currently on a rehab assignment. The team will face the Baltimore Orioles next, with Chris Flexen set to pitch, as they seek to break their losing streak and improve their season record.
