Emilio Pagan (5-1) pitched a hitless 12th to
pick up the win for the Twins, who scored three times in the
bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Matt
Wallner and Alex Kirilloff each added two hits for the Twins,
who improved to 8-2 since the All-Star break.
Zach Remillard had two hits including his first major league
home run and drove in two runs and Eloy Jimenez also homered for
Chicago which finished 3-6 on a nine-game road trip that
included stops at Atlanta and the New York Mets.
Oscar Colas went 3-for-5 with a run scored and also threw out a
runner at home plate for the White Sox and Tim Anderson added
two hits including an RBI double in the 10th.
Trailing 3-0 entering the bottom of the ninth, the Twins rallied
to tie it against reliever Kendall Graveman. Wallner led off
with a walk and advanced to second on a single by Jeffers.
Pinch-hitter Willi Castro had an RBI double into the gap in
left-center. Carlos Correa followed with a sacrifice fly to
drive in Jeffers and Alex Kirilloff then drove in Castro with an
opposite-field double down the left field line to tie it.
Chicago regained the lead 4-3 in the 10th on Anderson's two-out
double off reliever Jhoan Duran. The Twins tied it again on a
sacrifice fly to shallow right by Farmer.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Jimenez led
off with his 13th home run of the season, a 414-foot drive to
left.
Remillard made it 2-0 leading off the third with his first big
league homer, a 418-foot drive to left-center.
The White Sox increased the lead to 3-0 in the fifth when Colas
blooped a single to center, stole second and advanced to third
on a throwing error by Jeffers and scored on a single by
Remillard.
White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito, the object of trade
rumors, allowed six hits and three walks over five shutout
innings. He struck out nine including the 1,000th of his career.
