Bobby Jenks failed to break the major league record for consecutive batters retired before getting three outs to help the Chicago White Sox avoid their longest losing streak in 16 years with a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
Jenks, who tied Jim Barr’s mark of 41 for San Francisco in 1972 on Sunday, gave up a single to Joey Gathright to lead off the ninth. Jenks responded by retiring the next three batters for his 34th save in 39 chances.
