Twins defeat White Sox once more, extending team’s longest winning streak since 2008 to 10 games

The Minnesota Twins are on fire, extending their winning streak to double digits with a 10-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. This impressive run comes after a thrilling 6-5 win on Tuesday, where the Twins fought back from deficits to secure the victory.

In Tuesday’s game, the White Sox took an early lead, but the Twins battled back to tie the game before ultimately taking a 5-4 lead in the eighth inning. However, the White Sox tied it up with a solo home run in the bottom of the inning. In the ninth, the Twins managed to score the winning run with a sacrifice fly, clinching the victory.

The momentum carried over to Wednesday’s game, where the Twins dominated with a 10-5 win. They scored four runs in the ninth inning to seal the deal, with key hits from Jose Miranda, Ryan Jeffers, and Willi Castro.

This winning streak marks a dramatic turnaround for the Twins, who started the season with a 7-13 record. Now sitting at 17-13, they are just 2.5 games behind the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians.

Adding to the excitement is a new tradition in the Twins dugout involving a lucky summer sausage. The sausage, brought in by hitting coach David Popkins, has become a symbol of good luck for the team. Players have been tapping the packaged sausage for luck, and it seems to be working wonders for the team.

With the winning streak in full swing, the sausage’s reign in the dugout is likely to continue as the Twins look to keep their hot streak alive.
