Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox: Final Score & Recap

The Chicago White Sox routed the Minnesota Twins 10-1 at Rate Field on September 6, 2026, a lopsided outcome that the DiamondIQ model's estimate barely hinted at before first pitch, when it placed the home side's win probability at 59 percent. That figure climbed steadily before reaching 100 percent by game's end, as Chicago strung together damage in the fifth, sixth, and eighth innings while holding Minnesota to a single run on four hits.

The game's turning point arrived in the bottom of the fifth, when Munetaka Murakami singled off Bailey Ober to generate a swing of plus-10.3 percent in win probability, a figure matched moments later in the sixth when Sam Antonacci doubled off Andrew Morris for an identical plus-10.3 percent shift. Antonacci had already done damage in the fifth as well, delivering a double off Ober worth plus-7.4 percent. Tristan Peters added a double in the sixth off Kody Funderburk for another plus-6.4 percent swing. The eighth inning proved the knockout blow, with Chicago plating five runs to push the final margin to nine.

Antonacci was the game's standout offensive contributor, finishing with a combined WPA of plus-16.7 percent and an RE24 of plus-1.9. Randal Grichuk posted the night's best RE24 at plus-2.5 alongside a plus-9.2 percent WPA, while Murakami added plus-7.3 percent. On the pitching side, Hagen Smith led all arms with a plus-19.3 percent WPA, providing the foundation for Chicago's dominant evening on the mound. Ober absorbed the loss but finished a surprising plus-7.5 percent in WPA, a reflection of his relative steadiness before the White Sox offense fully broke through.
