The Chicago White Sox’s nightmare season continues to reach new depths.

The White Sox trailed the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday and were on pace to extend an 11-game losing streak that has now lasted nearly two weeks. With a record of 31-108, Chicago is on pace to break Major League Baseball records for total losses (120) and worst winning percentage (.235).

Even routine has become weird for the White Sox, who haven’t won a series since late June. Such trouble was on display in the second inning of Tuesday’s game at Camden Yards.

With two outs and the bases loaded, relief pitcher Jared Shuster seemed ready to escape an early tight spot when he induced Eloy Jimenez to pop up into shallow left field.

Instead, to use the words of ESPN’s Kevin Brown, the White Sox showed full power for the White Sox.

The sky-high pop-up offered three Chicago fielders a chance to get in position to catch the ball and end the inning. Unfortunately, more fielders only led to a worse outcome.

Shortstop Jacob Amaya wisely ducked out of the way of third baseman Miguel Vargas – just in time for Vargas to collide with oncoming left fielder Andrew Benintendi, and the ball fell harmlessly to the ground mid-collision. All three runs were scored when the ball bounced.

Vargas left the game after the collision due to a grazed right eye.
