Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins broke their losing streak by defeating the Athletics 9-7 in their recent game, but they are still 9.5 games away from securing a spot in the Wild Card race. Third baseman Royce Lewis came up big with a grand slam in the 4th inning, helping secure the victory. Despite this win, Lewis has only hit seven home runs and has 33 RBIs this season. Centerfielder Byron Buxton, who leads the team with 25 home runs and 62 RBIs, also contributed with two hits and an RBI. Due to injuries within the pitching staff, the Twins have yet to name their starter for the next game and will likely rely on their bullpen. Their team ERA currently ranks 21st in the league at 4.27.

Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are currently at the bottom of the American League standings and are unlikely to make a playoff push this year. Despite being 23 games out of the final Wild Card spot, they are not yet mathematically eliminated. However, as the season comes to a close, their chances are slim.

In their recent game against Minnesota, Chicago scored seven runs but still ended up losing. Lenyn Sosa, batting fourth and playing first base, stood out with two hits and two RBIs. Sosa leads the team in home runs and RBIs with 17 and 57 respectively. Colson Montgomery, the rookie shortstop, also contributed with two RBIs.

Yoendrys Gomez will make his third start for the team, having joined in a midseason trade. With an ERA of 5.53, Gomez has 23 strikeouts and 15 walks this season. In his previous start, he gave up three runs in five innings in a win over the Braves. Luis Robert Jr., the 28-year-old centerfielder, has 14 home runs and 53 RBIs this season for the struggling White Sox.

Minnesota Twins Poised for Victory Against Struggling Chicago White Sox

The Minnesota Twins have faced some challenges recently, yet they remain a formidable team compared to their upcoming opponent. They will be facing a pitcher who has been on three different teams this season. The Twins' lineup is strong with players like Buxton and Larnach contributing to their offense. On the other hand, the Chicago White Sox are struggling this season and are currently at the bottom of the AL standings. Their starting pitcher, Gomez, has a high ERA of over 5.50. Based on their performance in previous matchups this season, the Twins are likely to secure a victory in this game. Therefore, it is recommended to support the Twins to emerge victorious in this game.
