Overview

• The Chicago White Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 3-0 in a rain-shortened seven-inning game, avoiding a series sweep and ending a 14-game road losing streak at Target Field.
• Rookie pitcher Shane Smith earned his first major league win, striking out seven and allowing only four hits over five innings.
• Lenyn Sosa and Michael Vargas homered for the White Sox, with Vargas hitting his first home run since September 2024.
• Twins starter Chris Paddack remained winless in five starts this season, giving up two runs on five hits and four walks in the loss.
• Minnesota took the series 2-1, fueled by offensive highlights such as Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach's home runs and Luke Keaschall's record-tying five stolen bases in his first five career games.
