Chicago White Sox lose 100th game, Detroit Tigers near sweep - ESPN

CHICAGO — Andy Ibanez homered and had three RBIs as the Detroit Tigers sent the Chicago White Sox to their 100th loss with a 9-4 victory on Sunday.

Andrew Vaughn doubled, homered and had two RBIs for the White Sox (31-100), who need to go 12-19 to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1, for the modern major league record for most losses in a season. Chicago will fall short of the all-time record held by the Cleveland Spiders, who finished 20-134 in 1899.

In MLB history, only the 1916 Philadelphia A's, who were 29-100-1, reached 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox.

«We have been talking about it all year. It's beating a dead horse at this point. We are not where we want to be,» White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi said. "(Interim manager Grady Sizemore) said it best: 'Unless you win the last game of the year, it doesn't matter.' So, I think everyone has moved on."

Colt Keith had three hits and three RBIs for the Tigers (65-66), who have won four of five. The two teams will conclude their four-game series on Monday.

Chicago has lost 100 or more games six times in franchise history and in consecutive seasons for the first time. They went 61-101 last season under manager Pedro Grifol, who was fired Aug. 8. Chicago is 3-11 under interim manager Grady Sizemore.

The White Sox dropped a club-worst 106 games in 1970. Their worst winning percentage is .325, when they went 49-102-1 in 1932.

Bryan Sammons (1-1) allowed a run and three hits in 4 1/3 innings for Detroit to earn the victory.

«It wasn't the most efficient day on the mound,» Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. «But offensively, we did a lot of really positive things.»

Jonathan Cannon (2-8) gave up five runs and eight hits in four innings for the
