The White Sox became the 28th team to reach double-digit wins on Wednesday night, beating the Minnesota Twins, 6-4, for their third consecutive victory.

Luis Robert Jr. started the party early. After a Tim Anderson leadoff walk was followed by an Eloy Jiménez single, Robert snapped his weeks-long homerless streak with a 420-foot blast to deep left-center field for an early 3-0 lead:
That lead didn’t evaporate immediately, but it didn’t last nearly as long as anyone would have liked.
