Twins host White Sox aiming for home win streak

The Minnesota Twins, returning home after a sweep by the Atlanta Braves, are set to face the struggling Chicago White Sox in a three-game series at Target Field. The Twins hope this homestand against the White Sox and the Angels will provide a spark similar to last season, when a comparable stretch triggered a turnaround. Minnesota currently leads the season series against Chicago and is looking to build momentum, aided by performances from players like Byron Buxton and rookie Luke Keaschall. The White Sox, with only one win on the road and a poor overall record, will attempt to break their losing streak. Key Twins pitcher Pablo Lopez remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, and outfielder Harrison Bader announced his intention to play for Team Israel in the next World Baseball Classic. The series offers both teams a chance to shift their early-season trajectories.
