Jace Fry (3-4), who pitched 1 2/3 hitless
innings, picked up the win for the White Sox, who had to scratch
back-to-back scheduled starters Lucas Giolito (mild lat strain)
on Tuesday and Dylan Covey (sore shoulder) on Wednesday and were
forced to empty the bullpen.
Alex Colome pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 28th save.
Leury Garcia, Eloy Jimenez and Yolmer Sanchez each had two hits
for Chicago (66-86).
Jake Odorizzi (14-7) took the loss for Minnesota (93-59), which
saw its American League Central lead over Cleveland shrink to
four games with 10 games remaining. Eddie Rosario went 2-for-4
with a double and an RBI for the Twins.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Moncada led
off with a double off the left field wall and then scored on a
single by Jimenez.
The White Sox made it 2-0 in the sixth when Tim Anderson reached
on a fielder's choice and then scored on Moncada's two-out
double into the gap in left-center.
Minnesota, which was no-hit for the first 5 1/3 innings by
opener Ivan Nova, Fry and Carson Fulmer, finally broke through
in the bottom of the sixth when Jorge Polanco lined a single to
center against Josh Osich. Jimmy Cordero took over on the mound
and walked Nelson Cruz before Rosario singled to drive in
Polanco.
The Twins loaded the bases later in the inning when Jake Cave
walked, but Cordero got out of the jam by getting pinch hitter
LaMonte Wade Jr. to ground out.
Collins increased Chicago's lead to 3-l in the ninth when he led
off with a 399-foot home run to center off reliever Brusdar
Graterol.
