Henderson’s 34th HR starts Orioles’ defeat of hapless White Sox

Excelling in a crushing 13-3 win over the white Sox, 😳😳🔥🔥eyes on Gunnar Henderson tied a franchise record for shortstops with his 34th home run:

Baltimore Orioles extended Chicago’s losing streak to 11 with a 13-3 rout of the White Sox on Monday.

Chicago dropped to 31-108 and lost its 20th straight game in which Chris Flexen (2-14) started, setting a major league mark for most consecutive losses in a pitcher’s starts that had held by Milwaukee’s Chris Capuano.

Cedric Mullins homered with three RBIs, and Austin Slater and Henderson each drove in three runs for Baltimore, which overcame a 2-0 deficit and began a six-game homestand by improving to 5-0 against Chicago this season.

Baltimore’s leadoff batter reached in each of the first six innings for the first time since July 4, 1997, an 11-8 loss at Detroit in the second game of a doubleheader.

The Orioles went 7 for 23 with runners in scoring position and pulled within a percentage point of AL East-leading New York.

The Orioles had their most prolific offensive day since scoring a season-high 17 runs on June 20 against the Yankees and their 18 hits were their most since collecting 18 at Houston on June 21.
