Anaheim, CA – The Los Angeles Angels secured a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory over the Chicago White Sox in a grueling 13-inning affair on Wednesday. Jordyn Adams delivered the game-winning hit, a grounder that deflected off the glove of Miguel Vargas, scoring automatic runner Eric Wagaman in the bottom of the 13th.

The win marked the 117th loss for the White Sox, tying them with the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics for the third-most losses in a season in modern Major League history. This also marked the 10th walk-off loss for Chicago this season.

Despite the loss, the White Sox received a strong performance from Andrew Vaughn, who hit his 19th homer of the season. Lenyn Sosa also contributed with two hits.

The Angels, on the other hand, saw Zach Neto continue his impressive season, stealing his 30th base in the eighth inning. He became the third player in Angels franchise history to reach 20 home runs, 30 doubles, and 30 stolen bases in a single season, joining Devon White (1987) and Mike Trout (2013, 2016).

The game was a back-and-forth affair with both teams trading leads throughout the extra innings. The White Sox took a 1-0 lead in the fourth, the Angels tied it in the eighth, the White Sox regained the lead in the 10th, and the Angels responded with a tie in the bottom half. Chicago once again took the lead in the 11th only for the Angels to tie it again in the bottom half.

Ultimately, it was Adams’ clutch single that decided the game in favor of the Angels, who continue their pursuit of a playoff berth. For the White Sox, the loss only further solidifies their place in the history books, as they continue their march towards potentially the worst season in franchise history.
