(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Minnesota, 09/01/2020 8:10 PM, Score: 2 - 3
Money Line: -110.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Loss
The Chicago White Sox are coming off a come from behind win over the Minnesota Twins 8-5. Luis Robert had a big night going 2 for 4 with a home run, a double with two RBIs. Jose Abreu, Adam Engel, and Nomar Mazara each had two RBIs. Lucas Giolito coming off a no-hitter allowed two earned runs on four hits while striking out eight in five innings. The Sox have been on a nice run and will look to keep it going with Dallas Keuchel getting the call. He is 5-2 with a 2.70 ERA and 26 strikeouts this season.

The Minnesota Twins lost leads of 4-0 and 5-4 to drop Game 1 of their series with Chicago. Miguel Sano had a solo home run while going 2 for 3 for the game. Michael Pineda will make his first start of the season. Last season he was 11-5 with a 4.01 ERA and 140 strikeouts last season.


Chicago is 8-1 in their last 9 games within the division and 11-2 in their last 13 games overall. Minnesota is 0-6 in their last 6 games overall and 1-9 in their last 10 games as a home underdog. The Sox bats have been hot for a while and they are facing a pitcher making his first start. Keuchel has pitched well for the Sox and should keep the Twins bats quiet enough for the Sox bats to get to Pineda.

Play on the Chicago White Sox.
