Benintendi has all three Chicago hits, including a home run, as White Sox beat Twins 3-2

On Saturday afternoon, Andrew Benintendi led the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis. The White Sox outfielder notched all three of his team's hits, including his sixth-inning home run which proved decisive. Prior to Benintendi's performance, the Twins had dominated the game for the first five innings.

Minnesota's Josh Bell and Walter Jenkins added RBIs, but the White Sox came back with two outs in the fourth inning thanks to a fielding error by Kaelen Culpepper, negating a 2-1 Minnesota lead. Chicago's bullpen contributed significantly to the win, with Josh Newcomb pitching three scoreless innings and Bryan Hudson securing his seventh save with a perfect ninth.

The White Sox's win marked their fourth straight victory, improving their season record to nine games above .500. Meanwhile, the Twins suffered their seventh loss in eight games, dropping their season record to 8-17 in August, and their playoff hopes seemingly fading.
