"Setting what felt like a negative tone to start the game, the Twins jumped on Davis Martin right out of the gate as Byron Buxton launched a 103 mph triple to left to immediately put a runner in scoring position. It came back to bite them as Trevor Larnach smoked a base hit up the middle to drive in the first run, though Davis was able to recover and secure the next three outs without any further damage."
"In the second inning, Minnesota took advantage of a walk from Martin, and Mickey Gasper then stole second - originally recorded as an out, but overturned on a challenge to place another runner into scoring position. They certainly capitalized on this as well, and Ryan Fitzgerald drove Gasper in on a fastball that Davis left hanging way too close to the middle of the plate. 2-1, Twins."
"Simeon Woods Richardson didn't really have the same troubles as Martin, and pretty much cruised through the first three frames, outside of Andrew Benintendi mashing a 398-foot homer in the second inning to serve Woods Richardson his first hit of the night and tie the game at one. He also walked two White Sox batters, but was otherwise in control as he struck out five in comparison."
The White Sox scored 12 runs on 13 hits, including four home runs, and beat the Twins 12-3 for a third straight win. Andrew Benintendi went 4-for-5 with two home runs, five RBIs, three runs, and an outfield assist. Kyle Teel, Brooks Baldwin, and Colson Montgomery reached base multiple times. Davis Martin earned his sixth win (6-9) despite an uneven outing. The Twins jumped ahead early when Byron Buxton hit a 103 mph triple and Trevor Larnach drove in the first run. In the second inning Mickey Gasper stole second after a challenge and Ryan Fitzgerald singled him home to make it 2-1.
