Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox: Final Score & Recap

The Chicago White Sox handed the Minnesota Twins a 6-2 defeat at Rate Field on May 28, 2026, with the DiamondIQ model's estimate of a home win probability entering the game at 58 percent and climbing to 100 percent by the final out. The outcome was largely decided in the bottom of the third inning, when Chicago's offense broke through against Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson to score four runs, turning a tight early contest into a comfortable cushion that Minnesota never seriously threatened.

The decisive sequence in the third began with Randal Grichuk's double off Woods Richardson, the single most impactful play of the game at plus 16.9 percent win probability added. Tristan Peters extended the damage with a single, adding another 7.8 percent swing in Chicago's favor, and the two-out rally compounded the earlier groundwork Peters had laid with a double in the second inning worth plus 4.0 percent. Together, Grichuk and Peters were the offensive architects of the victory, finishing with WPA figures of plus 16.2 and plus 11.6 percent respectively, with Grichuk posting a RE24 of plus 2.0 and Peters plus 1.6. Tristan Gray added a quieter but meaningful plus 5.7 percent contribution to round out the top performers.

On the mound, Davis Martin was the primary beneficiary and chief architect of the pitching performance, leading all pitchers with plus 12.6 percent WPA. The Twins' inability to generate offense was underscored by a damaging groundout from Brooks Lee in the top of the third, a minus 4.8 percent swing that snuffed out any Minnesota momentum before it could develop. Minnesota finished with five hits against Chicago's eight, and an error on each side did little to alter the fundamental shape of a game Chicago controlled from the third inning forward.
