3 IP for Mason Adams in his 2nd rehab start with WS. 2 ER on 3 H and 1 BB. His control looks a bit better than I expected this early.

.341! Ridiculous talent.

Sox improve to 29-27 on the season, 17-11 at home, and 8-3 in division. 3 GB of Cleveland who host Boston next. 2 game lead for WC2. 4th best record in the AL, 5th best run diff at breakeven. White Sox SP this series: 25 IP, 5 ER, 22 K, 5 BB. Combined 1.80 ERA and .640 WHIP while all going 6+. Exactly what the team and bullpen needed in this stretch. Davis Martin is tied for the MLB lead with 8 wins as a starter. The bullpen was also solid in regulation. Outside of the extra inning game, Twins scored just 7 runs for the series. The offense did their part too, going 40-138 with a .796 series OPS. Could have been a sweep with better breaks down the stretch of game 2.

Twins broadcast on Mune's HR last night: "It's not normal to be able to do that to the opposite field!"

Grichuk's been such a pro

Dodgers, Padres, Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Braves, Blue Jays would be over this cap

I'm talking specifically getting a called strikeOUT from challenging a pitch, not just a strike. Jeffers has the most with 1, 9 is T-6.

9th time EQ has flipped a ball call into a K this season

Kenley Jansen also left with a trainer last night

I skipped a word in my excitement apparently. Hit 99, averaged 97.7.

Guards have scored 3 runs or fewer for 8 games straight. They are 5-3 in that time. Such an annoying team.

I remember when we were the team having to do this lol

Not quite, but excellent nonetheless. One imagines he could have gone a bit deeper, but happy for him to leave on a high note.

FYI Bradley has had a good season, although the Sox did slap him around last year. They tagged him for 4 in 1.2 IP as a Ray, prompting his demotion to AAA the following day. Then he was traded and his Twins debut a month later was also against the Sox who put up 7 ER over 5 IP in round 2.

Sox have been at or over .500 since reaching 21-21 on May 13. It's the longest stretch at or above .500 since September 2022. Win #28 last season was the last game in June. The Sox were 28-56. Sandlin had an excellent debut, retiring 18 straight after a leadoff HR to Buxton. He topped out at 99mph and averaged 97.7. 7 Sox turned in multi-hit efforts. Mune got HR #20 and his first SB. Fun one! And some much needed rest for the top of the pen.

Let Acuna swing for a slam and then let's wrap it up

Reminder that you can't ABS challenge vs. position players

Mune's gotta be the favorite if he breaks the rookie HR record
