Game Breakdown

• White Sox Power Surge: Chicago built an early lead entirely on the long ball off Twins starter Zebby Matthews. Miguel Vargas hit a solo home run in the first, Braden Montgomery added a solo shot in the second, and Colson Montgomery capped it with a two-run blast in the fourth to make it 4-0. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Matthews Takes the Loss: Matthews dropped to 9-9 on the year, giving up 4 earned runs on 4 hits across 5.0 innings while striking out four. [1, 2]
• Fedde Shuts Down Twins: Chicago's Erick Fedde earned the win by throwing 5.0 scoreless innings, scattering 3 hits and striking out two. The Sox bullpen followed with strong relief from Hagen Smith and Bryan Hudson to keep the Twins quiet. [1, 2]
• Late Inning Sign of Life: The Twins finally broke the shutout in the top of the ninth inning when Josh Bell crushed a massive 460-foot solo home run off Grant Taylor. While Minnesota managed to bring the tying run to the plate with two runners on, Luke Keaschall flied out to right field to end the ballgame.[1, 2
