CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Chase Meidroth<\/a> hit his first career grand slam, David Sandlin<\/a> struck four in six innings in his major league debut, and the Chicago White Sox<\/a> beat the Minnesota Twins<\/a> 15-2 on Wednesday night. <\/p>\n

Munetaka Murakami<\/a> went 2 for 4 with a solo homer. His 20 home runs are tied with Gary S\u00e1nchez (New York Yankees<\/a>, 2015-16) and Wally Berger (Boston Braves, 1930) for second in MLB history through 55 career games.<\/p>\n

Cody Bellinger<\/a> (Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>, 2017) hit 22 homers in his first 55 games. <\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s Byron Buxton<\/a> homered to lead off the game, but the 25-year-old Sandlin retired 18 consecutive batters \u2014 the first White Sox pitcher to retire 18 in a row in his debut since 1920. <\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s Kody Clemens<\/a> hit a solo shot in the eighth. <\/p>\n

Sam Antonacci<\/a> went 3 for 4 with three RBIs, Randal Grichuk<\/a> had three hits and drove in two runs. Meidroth, Colson Montgomery<\/a> and Tristan Peters<\/a> each added two hits. <\/p>\n

Murakami followed Meidroth\u2019s slam with a home run to make it 14-2. <\/p>\n

Meidroth has five homers this season, matching his rookie total from last season. <\/p>\n

Connor Prielipp<\/a> (1-3) gave up six runs and eight hits, walked three and had five strikeouts in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Antonacci hit a two-run single that gave the White Sox a 2-1 lead in the second inning and Montgomery doubled to a drive in a run in the third. <\/p>\n

Antonacci\u2019s two-run single highlighted Chicago\u2019s five-run fifth before Murakami singled to lead off the sixth, stole second base and scored on Grichuk\u2019s single to make it 9-1. <\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Twins RHP Taj Bradley<\/a> (5-1, 2.77 ERA) takes the mound Thursday against White Sox RHP Erick Fedde<\/a> (0-5, 5.47) to conclude a three-game series. <\/p>\n
