The White Sox turned a tight contest into an offensive showcase, scoring 13 runs over the final four innings to demolish Minnesota 15-2 at Rate Field. What began as a pitcher's duel became a statement victory for Chicago.
David Sandlin dominated through six innings, allowing just one hit and one run while striking out four to earn his first win of the season. The right-hander carried a 1.50 ERA and needed only 61 pitches to silence the Twins' offense after Byron Buxton's first-inning homer.
The White Sox broke open a 3-1 game with a devastating fifth inning. Grichuk singled home Murakami, Quero added a sacrifice fly, then Antonacci delivered a two-run single before Acuña capped the rally with an RBI single. The seven-run frame put the game away at 8-1. Chase Meidroth provided the exclamation point in the seventh, launching a grand slam 400 feet to center field that scored Quero, Peters and Antonacci.
Connor Prielipp absorbed the loss for Minnesota, surrendering eight hits and six runs over 4.1 innings. The Twins managed just three hits total, with Kody Clemens adding a late homer in the eighth that proved meaningless.
Chicago improved to 27-27 and snapped a one-game losing streak. Minnesota fell to 27-28 despite entering on a one-game winning streak.
