The White Sox are 36-120 with six games remaining.
The Tigers finished 43-119 in 2003 , and finished 47 games behind the AL Central Division winner Minnesota Twins (90-72).
Three-time All-Star outfielder Grady Sizemore took over as manager of the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 9, but hasn't had much success turning around the team's losing ways.
The Padres scored three runs in the eighth to erase a 2-1 deficit and sweep the White Sox. Luis Arraez hit a tying double, Jurickson Profar hit a sacrifice fly for the lead, and Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a solo home run for the final advantage.
