Tristan Gray, Twins pursue 3-game sweep of White Sox

The Minnesota Twins have revenge on their minds.
Last week, the Chicago White Sox won three out of four games against the visiting Twins and outscored them 27-10.
This time around, the Twins are facing the White Sox in Minneapolis, and Minnesota is looking to complete a three-game sweep. The Twins will go for their third win in as many days when they face the White Sox on Wednesday afternoon.
Twins infielder Luke Keaschall said he and his teammates are feeling good as they look to put together a hot streak.
“It’s great,” Keaschall said. “Any time you can win a series is awesome, especially after we just lost one to them. It’s been great.
“The offense has been hot, the pitchers have been doing their jobs. It’s a lot of fun. Just keep it rolling. Try and sweep them (Wednesday).”
White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde (0-5, 5.40 ERA) will go for his first win of the season while also trying to help his team avoid the sweep. Fedde is coming off a no-decision against the Detroit Tigers on Friday, when he allowed two runs on four hits in four innings.
In four career starts against the Twins, Fedde is 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA. He has walked five and struck out 25 in 23 innings.
Fedde will look to pick up fellow starter Davis Martin, who had his worst outing of the season Tuesday against the Twins. Martin gave up six runs on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings.
“I need to be better about dropping in curveballs,” Martin said. “Mixing pitches, mixing speeds. That’s what makes me good. Just didn’t have a feel for it. You’re going to have some of these starts.”
The Twins will counter with right-hander Taj Bradley (5-1, 3.21 ERA) in the series finale. Bradley also is coming off a no-decision after allowing four runs on five hits in four innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.
Bradley struggled in his first three meetings with the White Sox, all of them last year, going 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA.
Minnesota’s Tristan Gray will try to maintain his hot hitting in the series. The journeyman infielder belted a grand slam on Monday while finishing with five RBIs, and he followed up with a two-hit, two-RBI performance on Tuesday.
Keaschall praised Gray as a teammate. Gray, 30, appeared in more than 800 minor league games, and he has set a career high with 35 big-league games in 2026.
“He’s been stellar on and off the field,” Keaschall said. “He’s a great guy in the clubhouse, great guy to learn from. The guy has hit a million homers in his career, it feels like. It’s great to pick his brain. He’s just a winner on the field.”
Chicago’s hottest hitter is Miguel Vargas, who has six RBIs in his first two games of the series. He belted a pair of two-run homers on Monday before contributing a two-run single on Tuesday.
