The Chicago White Sox are coming off a depressing homestand in which they lost five consecutive games. After snapping their losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, the team will begin a seven-game road trip on Thursday.
Waiting to face the Sox on Thursday is the Minnesota Twins. The Sox will face a team that is not only tied for first place in the American League Central division but a squad that took two out of three games from the defending World Series champion Houston Astros.
