The game was decided before Minnesota recorded an out. Chicago scored four runs in the first inning and never looked back, routing the Twins 8-0 at Target Field behind Erick Fedde's first win of the season.
Fedde allowed 2 hits over 5.0 innings with 2 strikeouts and 1 walk to earn his first victory after five losses. His ERA: 4.94. The right-hander controlled the strike zone and gave Chicago's offense all the support it needed.
The White Sox struck immediately against Taj Bradley in the opening frame. Antonacci scored on a Meidroth walk, then Ja. Gonzalez singled to center to bring home Benintendi and Vargas. Peters grounded into a fielder's choice to score Meidroth and complete the four-run outburst. Chicago added single runs in the sixth and eighth innings, with Benintendi capping the scoring with a two-run homer to right field.
Bradley lasted just 4.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits with 5 walks and 5 strikeouts to take the loss. The Twins managed only 5 hits and committed 3 errors in the shutout defeat. Bradley is 20 strikeouts away from 500 career strikeouts.
Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to 32-29. Minnesota's two-game winning streak ended as they fell to 29-33.
