Twins vs White Sox Preview: Week 62 Showdown

The White Sox came out swinging yesterday and put on a power show. They beat Minnesota 15-2 in the first game. Chicago's hitters were absolutely relentless, scoring runs all over the place. Yuli Murakami crushed a long ball to left center. The White Sox kept piling on, especially in the fifth inning when they scored four runs in one inning. Minnesota's Buxton and Clemens both went deep for the Twins, but it wasn't nearly enough. Today the Twins get a chance to bounce back.

Kendry Rojas gets the start for the Twins today. He's their pitcher on the mound, and the team is counting on him to keep things tight. The Twins have a solid rotation built on steady starters who show up and compete every night. Joe Ryan leads the staff, but pitchers like Rojas need to deliver too. Minnesota's rotation isn't flashy, but these guys know how to get outs. The bullpen has Taylor Rogers as the closer. Today's game at Rate Field will test whether Rojas can help the Twins get back on track after that tough loss.

Davis Martin is on the mound for Chicago today. He's a young pitcher with a 5.4 ERA this season. The White Sox are in rebuild mode with lots of young arms getting chances. Martin made his MLB debut in 2022 and is still developing as a pitcher. Chicago's rotation features Shane Smith as the anchor after a great year with a 3.10 ERA. The White Sox just crushed Minnesota yesterday and they smell blood in the water. Today's game could give them a chance to take control of this series.
