White Sox vs Twins Preview: Young Arms Take Center Stage

The Chicago White Sox are heading to Minnesota with their young pitching staff looking to bounce back. Davis Martin gets the start on the mound for Chicago. Martin is still building his game as a starter for the rebuilding Sox. The Twins just won yesterday against Chicago in a wild 9-6 game. Now it's Martin's turn to help his team even the series. The White Sox are 32-28 overall but just dropped one to Minnesota. Can Martin keep the ball down and limit the damage? Let's watch.

The Minnesota Twins' bats came alive yesterday. Gray absolutely crushed a ball to right-center for a home run. Caratini drove in runs with a solid single. The Twins scored nine runs and left the White Sox scrambling. Minnesota's lineup is dangerous when they get rolling like this. The Twins are 28-33 on the season and just grabbed a big win at home. Chicago's pitching staff needs to be sharp tonight. If they can slow down Minnesota's hitters, they have a real chance.

Both teams are banged up right now with injuries piling up. Chicago lost their first baseman Munetaka Murakami to a hamstring strain and won't see him for weeks. Minnesota's catcher Ryan Jeffers needs surgery and is out for months. These losses hurt both rosters badly. Still, there's baseball to play. The White Sox and Twins have split recent games during their series. Tonight's matchup matters for both teams trying to climb back into things.
