An Explosive Offensive Display by our Twins! 
What a thrilling game! Our Minnesota Twins clashed with the Chicago White Sox and emerged victorious with a dazzling score of 13-7. From the very beginning, our bats were on fire, and we kept the momentum going strong throughout the game. Let's break down the action.First Inning Fireworks 
The game started a bit tense, but our guys managed to seize the opportunity. After Willi Castro singled to left, he unfortunately got picked off first. However, Byron Buxton walked and Royce Lewis also drew a walk. Miscommunication from the White Sox allowed Buxton to score on an error, then Jose Miranda stepped up and hit a clutch single that brought Lewis home. We ended the inning ahead 2-0! 
Second Inning Surge 
The second inning was where we really started to dominate. Austin Martin walked, and after Castro doubled, Martin scored. Trevor Larnach followed up with a single, bringing Castro home. Then, the highlight of the inning: Royce Lewis hammered a three-run homer (346 feet), sending the crowd into a frenzy! After Max Kepler struck out, Miranda singled and Matt Wallner tripled to bring Miranda home. By the end of the inning, the scoreboard read a glorious 8-0. 
Mid-game Defense & White Sox Response 
Though the White Sox fought back in the third and managed to score a couple of runs, our pitcher stood strong. Despite conceding a few runs from Vargas, Baldwin, and Vaughn, we held the lead at 8-3. The 5th and 6th innings saw our defense holding steady, even as the White Sox tried to claw their way back into the game.Another Glorious 7th Inning 
The 7th inning added more insurance to our lead. Wallner walked and then stole second before Martin walked. A single from Christian Vázquez loaded the bases, and after a passed ball, Wallner scored. A clutch sac fly by Ryan Jeffers brought home Martin. We safely ended the inning at 10-5, reinforcing our position.Closing the Game with a Bang! 
The 8th and final innings were the coups de grâces. After the White Sox narrowed the gap to 10-7, our boys responded fiercely. Lewis singled, followed by a double from Miranda. A walk to Wallner loaded the bases again, leading to Vázquez walking and bringing Lewis home. Castro then hit a two-run single to left, extending our lead to a final 13-7. Jeffers struck out, but the damage was already done.
