White Sox Power Past Twins with Explosive Win
The Chicago White Sox came out swinging in Minnesota, and by the end of the night, the scoreboard told the full story: a 12–3 victory over the Twins. This game wasn’t just about the runs, though—it was about momentum, confidence, and a few standout performances that made all the difference.
Colson Montgomery, one of the brightest young talents on the roster, continued his home run streak with another blast. At just 47 career games, Montgomery has already hit 16 homers, putting him right behind Jose Abreu’s pace back in 2014. His power has been the talk of Chicago lately, and once again, he showed why. For Montgomery, it’s not just about hitting the long ball—it’s about staying on time, staying locked in, and sticking with the plan at the plate. That focus has clearly been paying off.

His double-play partner, Chase Meidroth, also got in on the action, going deep for a rare home run of his own. Afterward, Montgomery joked that Meidroth was thrilled with the feeling, simply saying, “Homers are sick.” The dugout energy after that moment was contagious, and it set the tone for the rest of the night.
But the turning point came late. In the eighth inning, with the game still hanging in the balance, Brooks Baldwin ripped a double to tie it, and Mike Tauchman followed with another clutch double to put the White Sox ahead. From there, Chicago never looked back. Tauchman’s big hit, along with Baldwin’s contribution, highlighted how this team doesn’t just rely on power—it can string together timely hits when it matters most.
Pitching-wise, it was a group effort. The Sox used seven different arms, starting with Fraser Ellard, and while two unearned runs crossed the plate, the staff held firm when it mattered. Jordan Leasure was asked to close it out, and he delivered with two strikeouts over the final four outs to secure his fifth save. For Leasure, the win showed just how different this team feels compared to last season—there’s a belief that someone will step up in tight games, and that belief is starting to translate into results.
Even with a tough overall record, Chicago has started September the right way. Manager Will Venable has emphasized that playing meaningful baseball this month is about more than standings—it’s about building habits, playing spoiler, and proving they can close out games. Players echoed that same thought, reminding everyone that winning in September is what successful teams learn to do, regardless of the circumstances.
With this 12–3 win, the White Sox not only claimed another victory over a division rival, but also reminded fans that progress is being made. For Montgomery and the rest of this young core, nights like these are laying the groundwork for something bigger. September is here, and for Chicago, it’s about proving that even in a tough season, the fight isn’t over.
