White Sox bullpen shuts down Minnesota in 10-1 victory
Summary

The Chicago White Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 10-1 on Sunday, maintaining their lead in the American League Central. Chicago utilized a planned bullpen game featuring Bryan Hudson, Jordan Hicks, Hagen Smith, Grant Taylor, and Tyler Davis, who combined to limit Minnesota to one run while recording 15 strikeouts. Smith contributed three perfect innings in the middle of the contest to anchor the pitching effort. Offensively, the White Sox received significant contributions from Sam Antonacci, who tallied three doubles, along with late home runs from Kyle Teel and Randal Grichuk. This victory keeps the team in first place as they continue to hold off the Cleveland Guardians in the division standings. The club now looks ahead to a critical three-game series in Cleveland scheduled for later this month.
