Chicago White Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 8-0, recording a 12-hit shutout powered by early offense, solid pitching from Yoendrys Gómez, and strong defense. The White Sox scored five runs in the first two innings, beginning with back-to-back singles by Mike Tauchman and Miguel Vargas, an RBI single by Kyle Teel, and a two-run single from Edgar Quero with runners in scoring position. Defensive miscues by the Twins, including a throwing error by Luke Keschall, extended the rally. Colson Montgomery hit his 13th home run of the season, his third straight game with a homer, providing a decisive 7-0 cushion.
It was Taj Bradley, recently acquired by the Twins, making his first start with the team this afternoon - a debut that was evidently spoiled from the start. In the bottom of the first inning, the White Sox went to work as Mike Tauchman and Miguel Vargas led off the game with back-to-back singles. Kyle Teel continued to trend, hitting an RBI single to right to score the first run.
This was an absolute moonshot, and Montgomery doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down. He hits his 13th of the season in just two months since being called up, immediately following his first grand slam yesterday. He now has three home runs in three consecutive games. This gave the team the quick 7-0 lead, which would carry them the rest of the way.
