MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Chicago White Sox dropped to 3-22, wasting a two-run lead and stretching their losing streak to a season-high seven with a 6-3 defeat to Minnesota on Thursday as Edouard Julien hit two of the Twins’ five solo home runs. Chicago matched Cincinnati in 2022, Detroit in 2003 and Washington in 1894 as teams that opened 3-22. Baltimore began 2-23 in 1988. Julien and Ryan Jeffers homered off Michael Soroka in a three-run sixth inning, Julien homered again off John Brebbia in the seventh and Carlos Santana and Jose Miranda went deep against Steven Wilson in the eighth. Chicago, off to the worst start in franchise history, has been outscored 141-56 and allowed 38 home runs. “There’s no lack of effort that’s going into turning this thing around,” said Soroka, who pitched five shutout innings before faltering. “It seems like right now it’s one thing or another that we can’t quite piece together and play that complete game. I believe things will turn around. I believe this group is definitely making the effort to do that.” |
