Dylan Cease spun a one-hitter over seven innings in his latest masterful start for the Chicago White Sox in an 11-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. The White Sox surged into the All-Star break by winning three out of four games against the first-place Twins. The White Sox outscored the Twins 32-10 in the series. Minnesota leads the AL Central by two games over Cleveland. The White Sox are three behind the Twins. Andrew Vaughn had a homer among three hits and three RBIs. Yoán Moncada and Josh Harrison also homered for the White Sox.
“There’s no way we’re going to sit here and speak glowingly about the way we just played. We won one out of four of these games, and we had ambitions to do a lot more than that," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “That being said, I think it was a first half that was mostly good baseball, but we do have work to do.”
Tim Anderson's two-out, two-strike, two-run single gave Chicago the lead in the fifth inning against Twins starter Chris Archer , who was cruising in his return from the 15-day injured list for left hip tightness until a two-out walk to Seby Zavala.“He had his stuff working,” Vaughn said, “and then his stuff stopped.”
The defending division champion White Sox were one of baseball's most egregious first-half underachievers, having not been above the .500 mark since May 25. They're 11-7 in July, though, and looking every bit the a formidable challenger to a Twins club that has been in first place for all but one day since April 24 when they finished a three-game sweep of the White Sox.
“I don't know how he's not in the All-Star game,” designated hitter José Abreu said through a team translator. ”It's crazy."The White Sox had closer Liam Hendriks added to the All-Star team in the last wave of substitutions for injuries and weekend starting pitching. Twins center fielder Byron Buxton was promoted to the AL starting lineup after Mike Trout backed out. Anderson is also going to the game in Los Angeles, as is Twins infielder Luis Arraez.
