The Chicago White Sox faced another defeat in a close game against the Minnesota Twins, losing 4-2 despite out-hitting the Twins 10-5. The White Sox's inability to convert scoring chances was highlighted as they went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Andrew Benintendi had a promising at-bat against closer Jhoan Duran but was denied by a spectacular diving catch from Byron Buxton. Manager Will Venable emphasized the need to turn good at-bats into runs, reflecting on the team's recent struggles with only one win in their last nine games.
"He's throwing 102 and a 99 mph splitter, so trying to get something up to hit, and yeah, guy made a nice play."
"A lot of good at-bats where we're able to create some traffic. We've just got to find a way to cash in. It's as simple as that."
"You know that Buxton's an incredible outfielder. I thought right away he had a beat on it. It was obviously a great play and close."
"When I hit it, with the jump he got, I knew he was going to catch it."
