Eloy Jimenez went 3-for-5 with a home run and
three RBIs and Luis Robert Jr. and Hanser Alberto each doubled
for Chicago, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Alex
Colome (0-1) suffered the loss for the White Sox, who finished
1-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
The game was tied 2-2 entering the 12th inning when Minnesota
took its first lead of the contest. Jose Miranda led off with a
high-hop grounder that bounced past the glove of shortstop Tim
Anderson for an error, allowing designated runner Trevor Larnach
to score from second.
One out later, Gordon made it 4-2 with a line-drive double into
the gap in left-center that drove in Joey Gallo, who had walked.
Reliever Sammy Peralta, who was making his major league debut,
followed allowing the Gordon double by walking Max Kepler to
load the bases and Correa to force in Ryan Jeffers, who had
reached on a fielder's choice. After Buxton struck out, Polanco
singled to drive in Kepler and Correa to make it 7-2.
Jimenez had an RBI single in the bottom of the 12th to end the
scoring.
Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when catcher Seby
Zavala led off with a walk and scored on Jimenez's fourth home
run of the year, a 409-foot drive to left-center off starter
Pablo Lopez.
The Twins cut it to 2-1 in the sixth on Correa's fourth homer of
the season, a 377-foot line drive into the bleachers in left. It
snapped a streak of 13 batters in a row retired by starter Lucas
Giolito.
Buxton tied it with a two-out homer in the eighth off reliever
Reynaldo Lopez, a 376-foot drive to left. It was his eighth home
run of the season.
The White Sox had a good chance to regain the lead in the eighth
when Andrew Vaughn led off with a walk and pinch-runner Billy
Hamilton stole second and later went to third on a wild pitch
with nobody out. But the Twins brought the infield in and
reliever Jhoan Duran got out of the jam with three groundouts.
Giolito pitched seven innings of one-run ball with two hits,
three walks and seven strikeouts. Pablo Lopez allowed two runs
on six hits and one walk in seven innings, fanning eight.
