First Inning


The White Sox set the tone early in the first inning, scoring 3 runs on 5 hits. Andrew Benintendi contributed significantly to this early lead with his consistent batting. This initial burst put pressure on the Twinkies and established momentum for the home team.


Second Inning


Continuing their aggressive approach, the Sox added another 4 runs in the second inning. Miguel Vargas played a crucial role during this period, helping extend Chicago's lead further. The Twins struggled to contain this offensive surge and failed to respond effectively.


Middle Innings


As both teams settled into a rhythm, innings three through six saw no additional runs from either side. However, Luis Robert Jr.'s defensive efforts ensured that Minnesota remained scoreless despite several attempts at bat.


Seventh Inning


In what could be considered a turning point for maintaining dominance, Mike Tauchman helped secure an additional run for Chicago in the seventh inning. This extended their lead while keeping Minnesota at bay as they continued searching for answers against strong pitching from Wikelman Gonzalez and Brandon Eisert.


Final Innings


The final two innings saw no change in score as both teams' defenses held firm. The White Sox's bullpen maintained its composure throughout these closing stages ensuring that there were no late-game surprises from Minnesota’s lineup.
