**ANAHEIM, Calif.** – The Los Angeles Angels secured a thrilling 4-3 walk-off victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, sending the White Sox to their 117th loss of the season. This loss ties the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics for the third most losses since 1900.

The White Sox are now on the verge of history, needing to go 7-2 in their final nine games to avoid surpassing the 1962 New York Mets’ record of 120 losses.

The game went into extra innings tied at one, with both teams trading runs in the 10th and 11th innings. In the 13th, Eric Wagaman scored the winning run after a grounder by Jordyn Adams deflected off the glove of third baseman Miguel Vargas.

The White Sox, who will face the Padres in a tough series beginning Friday, are still trying to stay focused despite the mounting losses. “We get the same question every day, we’re focused on one series at a time and one game at a time. Everything else is irrelevant right now,” said interim manager Grady Sizemore.

The Angels, meanwhile, are looking to build momentum as they head into their final week of the season. Manager Ron Washington highlighted the team’s resilience, saying, “We had opportunities throughout the game to do something, we just couldn’t stretch that run, especially in extra innings. But we kept going and finally caught a break.”

The Angels will now travel to Houston for a four-game series, while the White Sox continue their road trip in San Diego.
