Andrew Benintendi produced a 4-for-5 night with two home runs and five RBIs to lead the White Sox to a 12-3 victory over the Twins. Kyle Teel and Lenyn Sosa hit back-to-back homers, and Brooks Baldwin had three hits, helping Chicago win its third straight. Davis Martin allowed three runs on six hits across six innings to earn the win. Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson struck out seven and allowed two earned runs in five innings. A fifth-inning throwing error after a shattered bat led to a tying run, and Benintendi added a three-run shot in the eighth.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Andrew Benintendi went 4 for 5 with two homers and five RBIs as the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 12-3 on Tuesday night. Kyle Teel and Lenyn Sosa also homered and Brooks Baldwin had three hits for the White Sox, who have won three in a row. Davis Martin (6-9) won his third straight decision, giving up three runs on six hits in six innings.
Key moment With a runner on first and nobody out in the fifth, Will Robertson hit a chopper back to the mound. His bat shattered, and the barrel flew past Woods Richardson's face as he made the play. However, the throw to start a potential double play sailed into center field for an error. Both runners scored on Bryan Ramos' double to tie the game 3-3.
