Andrew Benintendi went 4-for-5 with two homers and five RBIs as the Chicago White Sox pulled away for a 12-3 win in Minneapolis. Lenyn Sosa and Kyle Teel also homered, and Will Robertson and Bryan Ramos each had two RBIs. Davis Martin allowed three runs on six hits over six innings to earn the victory. Simeon Woods Richardson held Chicago to three runs in five innings before Thomas Hatch surrendered six runs in two innings of relief. Chicago scored in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings to seize and extend the lead.
The Twins led 3-1 after four innings, but the White Sox seized control by scoring two runs in the fifth, two more in the sixth, four in the seventh and three in the eighth. Ramos started the rally in the fifth. He hit a two-run double off the wall in right field to even the score and erase an opportunity for Woods Richardson to get the win.
The White Sox pounced on the Twins' bullpen starting in the sixth. Benintendi hit an RBI single for the go-ahead run, and Brooks Baldwin followed with an RBI single in the next at-bat to put Chicago on top 5-3. Teel and Sosa led off the seventh with back-to-back blasts to make it 7-3. The White Sox loaded the bases later in the inning with one out for Robertson, who delivered with a two-run single to right to increase Chicago's lead to 9-3.
