Chicago improved to 51-88, ten more wins than last season’s 41-121 mark that set a modern-era loss record. The White Sox have won three straight games and can reach their first four-game streak since July while clinching a series against Minnesota. Andrew Benintendi hit two homers in a 12-3 win; Lenyn Sosa and Kyle Teel also homered. Bryan Ramos recorded his first hit of the season after a minor-league promotion and drove in two runs following an elbow injury. Minnesota yielded 11 unanswered runs and will start 25-year-old right-hander Zebby Matthews (4-4, 5.06 ERA) next.
(We're) really excited about having him here," Venable said. "The journey he's been on with the (elbow) injury, to be able to be here now and contributing at the big-league level is great for him, great for us.
I'm going to stay optimistic most of the time, but that wasn't good, that wasn't real good," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. "I don't think anyone felt good leaving the field (Tuesday), walking off the field. Definitely frustrating, but we have to get over it.
