White Sox defeat Twins 3-0 in rain-shortened game

The Minnesota Twins were shut out 3-0 by the Chicago White Sox in a rain-shortened series finale at Target Field, ending the game after seven innings. White Sox rookie Shane Smith delivered a standout performance, pitching five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, while Lenyn Sosa and Michael Vargas each hit solo home runs. The game was interrupted and ultimately called off due to persistent rainfall, despite the grounds crew's efforts to keep play going. The Twins, who had previously won the first two games of the series, struggled offensively, failing to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities. This win marked a rare victory for the White Sox in Minneapolis, where they had not won since 2023. Despite the loss, the Twins secured the series win but missed out on a potential sweep.
