Sox Machine • • sports
Key Points:
- Andrew Benintendi was the sole offensive contributor for the White Sox, providing all three of the team's hits including an RBI single and a go-ahead home run that secured a 3-2 victory over Minnesota.
- Sean Newcomb pitched three effective innings in relief, helping the White Sox maintain their lead, while Bryan Hudson closed with a perfect ninth inning for his second save in two days.
- The White Sox benefited from Minnesota's defensive miscues in the fourth inning, which allowed an unearned run to tie the game before Benintendi’s homer put Chicago ahead.
- Starter Erick Fedde recovered after early struggles to retire nine consecutive batters, earning his first win since August 15 with crucial defensive support from teammates.
- The White Sox improved to a season-high nine games over .500, despite limited offensive production beyond Benintendi and a 1-for-11 performance with runners in scoring position.
