Andrew Vaughn, the Chicago White Sox’s top-ranked prospect, hit the first home run of his major-league career in Wednesday’s 13-8 victory against the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Leadoff batter Tim Anderson singled twice, drove in one and scored once. Cleanup hitter José Abreu went 2-for-5 with a triple, a single and three RBIs. And No. 8 hitter Billy Hamilton went 4-for-4 with a triple, a double and two singles. He stole a base, drove in one and scored three times. The four hits tied a career high.
The Sox tacked on three more in the inning, and Grandal added a solo home run against reliever Shaun Anderson during a three-run fifth as the Sox built a 12-3 lead.
