Red Sox had some players also, but at least one said he wouldn't go....a bit banged up with an ailing shoulder that needed a rest.

White Sox snap losing streak by beating A's: Chicago finally wins after 21 losses, two shy of modern record​

The White Sox have finally won another game​

One of the longest losing streaks in baseball history has ended. For the first time in nearly a month, the Chicago White Sox have won a game. They did so Tuesday night in Oakland Coliseum against the Athletics, 5-1.

Credit White Sox starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon for a quality outing -- especially in getting himself out of trouble -- here in the winning effort. He allowed only one run in six innings and struck out five. He left the bases loaded in the first, got out of a jam with a double play in the second and stranded two more runners in the fifth.

The bullpen also deserves praise for shutting the door, as it had been especially brutal during the losing streak. In fact, the bullpen had posted a 6.72 ERA from the All-Star break through Monday night. Tuesday, though, relievers Dominic Leone, Chad Kuhl and John Brebbia held the A's down and protected the lead.

On the offensive end, the White Sox got to play with a lead through the middle innings thanks to Andrew Benintendi's two-run shot in the fourth inning and that would end up being all they needed. They would get insurance in the sixth on an Andrew Vaughn RBI single and then a run-scoring wild pitch. A Lenyn Sosa single plated the fifth run in the ninth and really felt like it was the proverbial nail in the coffin for the A's.
