Early Innings Set the Tone
The game started strong with both teams' pitchers rapidly shutting down hitters, but it was the bottom of the 1st inning that set the fireworks off for the Twins. After some initial outs, Ryan Jeffers and Max Kepler delivered back-to-back hits, with Kepler's double knocking in the first two runs of the game.

Twins' Bats Catch Fire
As we moved into the 3rd, the Twins' offense started to catch fire. Trevor Larnach and Kepler once again showed their worth by driving in runs, extending the lead to 4-0. Then, Willi Castro surprised us all with a perfectly placed double, making it 5-0 in favor of the Twins. The team was really showing its depth, with contributions coming from all over the lineup.
Pitching: The Unsung Hero
While the bats were getting all the attention, the Twins' pitching was quietly putting on a clinic. The White Sox hitters were left frustrated, failing to gain any momentum as our pitchers masterfully controlled the game. Kudos to our pitching staff for keeping the White Sox at bay and preserving the shutout.
Sealing the Deal
By the 7th inning, the game was already feeling like a Twins win, but Edouard Julien wasn’t content just yet, blasting a solo homer that sent the crowd into a frenzy and sealed the White Sox's fate.
