Sox's Anderson extends hit streak to 12 games, tops in majors

On a tear heading into Monday night's game against the Twins, Tim Anderson stayed hot with a leadoff single and another single in the fourth inning.

The White Sox's shortstop now has a 12-game hitting streak, the longest in the major leagues.

Anderson was the American League batting champion in 2019 with a .335 batting average and he finished second last season at .322.

He's hitting in the same range this year and is making another run at the title.

"I feel great," said Anderson, who was out April 5-14 with a hamstring injury. "I'm just at a point where I understand my work and I understand what I'm doing and knowing what guys are trying to do me. It's just going in the cage and really taking a swing on every pitch I think they're going to throw me that night."
