The White Sox are close to clinching a playoff berth, but they’ll have to wait as their bats failed them on Wednesday night. The Minnesota Twins held their normally red hot bats to a chilling two hits.
The two teams will finish their four game series Thursday. The South Siders can clinch a playoff berth with a win.
The Sox lone highlight of the night was a Jose Abreu home run as he continues to make a strong case for AL MVP. The veteran blasted his 16th home run, and is leading the AL with 49 RBIs.
But, after the Abreu four-bagger, the Twins pitcher got 18 consecutive outs. For the White Sox, Lucas Giolito was the losing pitcher (4-3) as he allowed two home runs.
