Today in White Sox History: May 10

Two odd, negative items for today — but at least one ended in a win

1910
White Sox third baseman Bill Purtell became the first big-league player to strike out twice in the same inning. Walter Johnson got him both times, in the sixth inning in a game at Washington. Between Purtell’s outs, the Sox actually batted around in the sixth, and wound up winning the game, 10-3.

2002
It was one of the worst defeats in the history of the franchise. On this night in Anaheim, the White Sox were obliterated, 19-0. Danny Wright, Matt Ginter and Mike Porzio were the pitchers the Angels tore apart.
