Garrett Crochet’s struggles on the road continued Wednesday as the Chicago White Sox fell 6-3 to the Minnesota Twins. Crochet allowed four runs in the second inning, including a three-run homer by Willi Castro, and was charged with five runs on seven hits in four-plus innings. The White Sox are now 0-6 on their two-city trip and 1-12 on the road this season, their worst start in franchise history.
The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox will clash in Minneapolis on Wednesday following contrasting recent performances. The Twins have emerged victorious in three of their last four games, while the White Sox have endured a four-game losing streak. Minnesota’s power-hitting prowess was showcased in Tuesday’s walk-off victory over Chicago, with Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach contributing late home runs. Chicago’s Eloy Jimenez hit a three-run homer earlier in the game, but the bullpen faltered, allowing Minnesota to rally and secure the win. The White Sox will hope to reverse their fortunes with left-hander Garrett Crochet on the mound, while Minnesota will counter with right-hander Joe Ryan.
