Minnesota Twins: Stellar pitching and another Sano bomb result in another win
Another series, another series win under the belt of the Minnesota Twins. Of course, another Twins game means another home run from the home run machine that is Miguel Sano. Sano kicked off the scoring in the second inning with a solo homer which is his 15th in only his 50th game in the bigs.
That run would be the only one that the Twins would need. The Twins shutout the rival Chicago White Sox behind a wonderful start from Tommy Milone. Milone struck out seven Sox batters in seven innings while only allowing three hits and surrendering no walks. The bullpen, of course, kept chugging right along.
Trevor May and Kevin Jepsen came in and both pitch a hitless inning each. Both May and Jepsen were throwing absolute 95 MPH heat past the White Sox on Wednesday.

The Twins did score a pair of more runs via a Trevor Plouffe RBI double in the sixth. Eduardo Escobar and Kurt Suzuki scored and Byron Buxton was just thrown out trying to score all the way from first on a ball that wasn’t even hit to the gap pushing the Twins to a final score of 3-0.
Wednesday’s victory pushes the Twins to a wonderful 42-25 record at Target Field and a 69-63 record overall. Minnesota only stands a handful of wins away from being mathematically impossibly to lose 90-games which in itself is a pretty big accomplishment for the Twins compared to the last few years.
The Twins go for the sweep of the White Sox on Thursday afternoon with a 12:10 start time. The game can be seen on Fox Sports North for all you kids that just started college classes and decided to skip already.
