White Sox Rally Late, Top Twins 4-3; Sweep Talk Grows

The Chicago White Sox kept their hot streak alive with a wild late-inning comeback to beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-3. That’s four wins in a row for Chicago, and this one felt especially dramatic.

For most of the game, Minnesota’s pitching looked tough. Then, in the ninth, Chicago’s bats finally woke up—thanks to clutch moments from Edgar Quero, Brooks Baldwin, and veteran Michael A. Taylor.

The Sox bullpen did their job, keeping things close and giving the lineup a shot at the end. Target Field was buzzing as the game flipped in the final frame.

Early Dominance from the Twins

The Twins came out swinging. In the first inning, Trevor Larnach, Luke Keaschall, and Matt Wallner strung together hits to grab a quick 2-0 lead.

That put the White Sox on their heels right away. Yoendrys Gómez, the Sox starter, suddenly had to dig deep against a loaded Minnesota lineup.

Gómez’s Composure on the Mound

Gómez didn’t flinch, even after the rough start. He worked five innings and gave up just two runs—only one earned.

He managed to escape a big jam in the fifth, stranding Byron Buxton after a leadoff triple. That kind of grit kept Chicago within striking distance.

Quero’s Early Spark and Minnesota’s Response

Chicago finally got on the board in the second. Edgar Quero smashed a solo homer, slicing the deficit to 2-1.

But Zebby Matthews, the Twins’ starter, pretty much locked things down from there. Quero’s blast and two singles were all Chicago could muster off him.

In the sixth, Minnesota padded their lead. Royce Lewis drove in Ryan Jeffers with a single, making it 3-1.

Bullpen Keeps the Door Open

The Sox bullpen kept the game alive. Brandon Eisert set the tone, then Grant Taylor came in throwing 99 mph and struck out two batters.

The relievers’ work gave Chicago a real shot in the ninth. Without them, this comeback probably doesn’t happen.

Ninth-Inning Rally Stuns Minnesota

Everything changed in the final inning. The Sox, facing tough relievers, just wouldn’t quit.

• Edgar Quero led off with a sharp single.
• Andrew Benintendi drew a walk—suddenly, two on and nobody out.
• Brooks Baldwin ripped an RBI single to tie it at 3-3.
• Baldwin then stole second, putting himself in scoring position.
• Michael A. Taylor lined a double down the left-field line, driving in two runs.

Leasure Shuts the Door

Jordan Leasure came out to close it in the bottom of the ninth. He immediately faced trouble, with two Twins reaching base.

But Leasure buckled down and got the outs Chicago needed. That’s save number four in a row for him, and a wild finish for the Sox.

What This Win Means for the White Sox

This one felt bigger than just another win. The team showed real resilience, and the bullpen stepped up when it mattered.

The energy from the top performers was contagious. If they keep playing like this, who knows how far this streak could go?

Key Takeaways

• The White Sox just won four straight games—first time this season, finally.
• The bullpen’s effectiveness is quickly becoming a defining strength.
• Veterans and young bats are coming through with big, timely hits.
• Chicago’s late-inning execution tipped the scales in this matchup.

The Chicago White Sox have a series sweep within reach. It feels like they’re turning a corner.

Can they keep mixing disciplined pitching, bold baserunning, and clutch hitting? If so, the AL Central could get a lot more interesting soon.
