A rough moment for Chicago White Sox shortstop Lenyn Sosa on Wednesday night gave an accurate depiction of how things are going for the team this season.

The White Sox picked up their 103rd loss of the season with a 4-3 loss to the Texas Rangers in a doubleheader that saw Chicago lose their first game 3-1. It marked their sixth straight loss and their 10th in just 11 games.

But two defining moments in Wednesday night’s game left White Sox fans staying far away from social media. 

Just before the start of the eighth inning, Sosa was hit in the head with a baseball after being caught off guard by a throw to second from catcher Chuckie Robinson. He appeared to get hit in the nose and was checked out by the staff, but stayed in the game.

Then later in the ninth, Andrew Vaughn was robbed of a game-winning homer by a leaping catch from Travis Jankowski. 

“It’s probably one of the best catches you’ll see in a long time,” Vaughn said. “Got to hand it to him.”

Chicago is 4-32 after the All-Star break and are just three losses away from breaking the franchise record for the most losses in a single season, which was previously set in 1970 with 106 losses.
