MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Erick Fedde pitched five scoreless innings for his first
win in 10 months as the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 8-0 to stave
off a series sweep on Wednesday.
Rookie Sam Antonacci went 4 for 4 with two doubles, a walk and a hit by pitch
for the White Sox, who took a 4-0 lead in the first on Twins starter Taj
Bradley and improved to 33-29 after losing the last two nights.
The White Sox got their 33rd win last season on July 18 and didn't get there in
2024 until Sept. 8.
Fedde (1-5) retired the first 11 batters he faced and didn't allow a hit until
consecutive two-out singles in the fifth inning while throwing 61 pitches. The
journeyman right-hander, who has switched teams four times in three years,
recorded his most recent victory on Aug. 9, 2025, in a start for St. Louis. The
33-year-old Fedde has made eight starts and four bulk relief appearances this
season.
Bradley (5-2) failed to finish five innings for the second straight start, his
third turn since returning from the injured list with pectoral muscle
inflammation. He has allowed 24 runs over 11 starts, including 10 in the first.
Andrew Benintendi had a two-run homer, a single and three walks, and Jacob
Gonzalez hit a two-run single for the first RBIs of his career for the White
Sox, who won for just the third time in their last 11 road games.
Up next
Chicago starts a three-game series at Philadelphia on Friday. LHP Anthony Kay
(5-1, 3.77 ERA) takes the mound for the White Sox. The Phillies have not
announced a starter.
Minnesota hosts Kansas City on Thursday to begin a four-game series. The Twins
have yet to name a starter with their rotation depleted by injuries. RHP Seth
Lugo (2-4, 3.55 ERA) pitches for the Royals.
