Tough Night for the White Sox 
It was a rough game for us White Sox fans last night as we faced off against the Minnesota Twins, ultimately falling 2-10. The game started off on an unfortunate note right from the top of the 1st inning. Miguel Vargas, Brooks Baldwin, and Luis Robert Jr. all struck out, setting a precedent for what was to come.Early Setbacks 
In the bottom of the 1st, the Twins' Royce Lewis hit a two-run homer, putting Minnesota ahead. Trevor Larnach had walked previously, and with one swing, the Twins were ahead 2-0. We couldn’t seem to get our bearings in the 2nd inning either, as Gavin Sheets, Andrew Vaughn, and Andrew Benintendi couldn't make anything happen.Brief Moment of Hope 
The top of the 3rd inning gave us a glimmer of hope. Dominic Fletcher walked, and Miguel Vargas stepped up with a two-run homer to tie the game at 2-2. That was the highlight for us, but unfortunately, it was short-lived. In the bottom of the 3rd, Lewis struck again with a two-run double, putting the Twins back in the lead at 4-2.Struggles Continue 
By the 4th inning, we continued to struggle. Luis Robert Jr. and Gavin Sheets both grounded out, and although Vaughn managed a walk, we couldn’t capitalize. Later innings saw more missed opportunities, with Sosa, Fletcher, and Lee unable to get on base.Collapsed in the Eighth Inning 
The bottom of the 8th was where it all fell apart. We were doing well keeping the score manageable at 4-2, but the Twins added a crushing 6 runs. Christian Vázquez had a two-run double, followed by a Willi Castro two-run homer. Then Byron Buxton sealed the deal with a two-run homer to center. By the time we got out of the inning, it was 10-2.Final Attempts 
The top of the 9th was our last chance to close the gap, but Luis Robert Jr., Gavin Sheets, and Andrew Vaughn's valiant efforts ended in disappointment as we went out 1-2-3. Looking Ahead 
While it was a tough game, it’s important to remember that every match is a new opportunity. Let’s take this as a learning experience and come back stronger next time. Go White Sox!
