Antonacci Reaches Base Six Times as White Sox Beat Twins 8-0

A dominant offensive and pitching showing offers immediate lineup answers during a period of injury uncertainty.

Overview

  • Sam Antonacci went 4-for-4 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch, reaching base six times and raising his average to .291 and his on-base percentage to .383 in the 8-0 win.
  • Starter Erick Fedde retired the first 11 batters he faced and allowed two hits, one walk and two strikeouts over five innings before the bullpen completed the shutout.
  • Chicago opened the game with a four-run first inning that included Jacob Gonzalez’s first major-league RBIs and added insurance later with Andrew Benintendi’s two-run homer.
  • Outfielder Derek Hill was hit on the left hand in the ninth and underwent imaging after the game, and the club continues to manage other injuries including Munetaka Murakami’s hamstring and Noah Schultz’s knee tendinitis.
  • The June 3 performance showed the White Sox getting needed production from younger depth players and bullpen arms while they monitor short-term availability of key contributors.
