The Minnesota Twins are suddenly heating up. They beat the Chicago White Sox 9-2 Saturday at Target Field, good for their third straight win after starting the season with eight losses in 12 games. They’re now 7-8 overall entering Sunday’s series finale against Chicago.
Saturday’s win saw Dylan Bundy allow just four hits in five shutout innings, while the Minnesota offense gave him plenty of run support.
Byron Buxton went 4-for-4 at the plate and finished a triple shy of the cycle. He singled and scored in the first inning, doubled and scored in the second, homered in the fourth and single again in the seventh.
Luis Arraez also had four hits and drove in three runs for the Twins, and Ryan Jeffers slugged his first home run of the season.
The Twins can sweep the White Sox with a win Sunday. The game starts at 1:10 p.m.
