If the White Sox’s goal is to bury the Minnesota Twins in the bottom of the standings by the end of May, then taking a series sweep out of their first meeting is a good place to start. It wasn’t a third consecutive blowout win, but the White Sox (22-13) never trailed in a 4-2 victory on Thursday to notch their sixth straight victory.
The White Sox now hold a 10-game lead over the Twins (12-23, .343), who fell to last place behind Detroit (13-24, .351) by percentage points.
This time, the White Sox didn’t let the Twins take an early lead.
