White Sox Minor League Update: April 27, 2026

Caleb Bonemer came up clutch, blasting three homers, including a ninth-inning game-tying shot to spark the Dash comeback. | Caleb Bonemer/Instagram Gwinnett Stripers 10, Charlotte Knights 7 The Knights (13-15) spent most of the evening face-down in the dirt despite a frantic late scramble. Hagen Smith looked locked in early, breezing through two before the wheels wobbled in the third.

A leadoff walk turned into a two-run shot, and just like that, Charlotte was chasing. Smith settled back in and finished four innings, allowing just the two runs on one hit while striking out six, but walks (three) continued to be a trend that has lingered for the southpaw. Then the bullpen arrived and set the place on fire.

Jonathan Cannon’s first act: serve up a solo homer in the fifth. His encore? Six runs on seven hits in the sixth, and suddenly it’s 9–0, Knights buried under an avalanche of their own making.

But credit to the Knights for continuing to grind. Oliver Dunn finally broke through with a solo blast in the fifth, and then the bats put up a crooked number in the seventh. They loaded the bases on a walk, an error, and a single, and Dru Baker punched a liner to right, plating two.
