The start of the White Sox and Angels scheduled game Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field is being delayed by a passing rain shower.
On what could be a historic night for baseball, the Sox (36-120) are one defeat away from the all-time record for losses in the modern era.
Jonathan Cannon (4-10, 4.61 ERA) is starting for the Sox, opposed by the Angels’ Jack Kochanowicz.
The Sox have six game remaining — three against the Angels at home and three at Detroit.
“I certainly want to acknowledge the record that we’re up against right now,” general manager Chris Getz said before the game. “It’s really important to do a heartfelt thanks to our fans that have been with us through this very difficult, painful season. They don’t deserve this. It’s been very trying for me personally. And our staff and everyone in this organization.
“Our fans certainly don’t deserve to go through anything like this. They pay money to come to games and watch games. They look to watch the Chicago White Sox as a positive outlet and we haven’t been able to provide too many positive outcomes throughout the season. It’s certainly my job and others now to focus more so on the future, learn from the past and start building towards where the White Sox deserve to be for our fans and for everyone who works here.”
