The White Sox are still in first place despite their five-game losing streak.

The Chicago White Sox were swept over the weekend by the Los Angeles Angels and they've lost five in a row overall, but they still have a one-game lead over the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.

The White Sox are heading home for a series against the Indians, while the Tigers are up against the Royals. Detroit finishes the regular season with the Royals and Twins, which may place some added pressure on Chicago.

Here's a look at the AL Central standings as of Monday morning:
