Benintendi powered the White Sox offense throughout the game, opening the scoring with a single that brought Sam Antonacci home before later supplying the go-ahead homer.
Sam Antonacci scored on Benintendi's first-inning single, while Luke Keaschall scored on Josh Bell's sacrifice fly to tie the game. Kaelen Culpepper scored when Walker Jenkins grounded into a force out, and Andrew Benintendi later scored on Chase Meidroth's reach on a fielding error by Kaelen Culpepper to restore the tie. Benintendi's fly-ball homer to right-center field in the sixth then gave Chicago the lead.
Erick Fedde earned the win after allowing Minnesota's runs, and Sean Newcomb and Bryan Hudson kept the Twins off the board in relief. Minnesota's Bailey Ober provided a solid start, but the home team could not answer after Benintendi's homer.
