Andrew Benintendi drove Chicago’s offense with three hits, a home run, two RBIs and two runs as the White Sox edged the Minnesota Twins 3-2 at Target Field. The game was tied 1-1 after the first inning before Chicago scored once in the fourth and again in the sixth to take control. Minnesota pulled within a run after scoring twice across the opening two innings, but its offense went quiet over the final seven frames.

Chicago’s pitching made the lead stand. Sean Newcomb worked three innings with three strikeouts, and the White Sox held Minnesota scoreless from the third inning through the end of the game. Josh Bell and Walker Jenkins each drove in a run for the Twins, but Minnesota could not add to its two-run total after the second inning, leaving the club unable to capitalize on the early tie. Chicago’s run production in the fourth and sixth supplied the only margin the game needed.

The victory moved Chicago to 72-63 and showed a team winning through timely hitting and controlled relief work rather than sustained offensive volume. Minnesota fell to 64-72 after failing to convert its early scoring into pressure late, and its next challenge is clear: the lineup must extend at-bats beyond the opening innings while the pitching staff continues to operate in close games.
