Chicago's Kevin Pillar and Korey Lee each hit a
solo home run. The White Sox lost their sixth straight game and
dropped to 3-21, the worst record in the big leagues.
Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (1-1) struck out eight batters in
six innings. He allowed three runs on four hits and one walk.
Matt Bowman and Brock Stewart each followed with a hitless
inning, and Griffin Jax pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to collect his
third save.
White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet (1-4) gave up five runs on
seven hits in four-plus innings. He fanned six and walked two.
Minnesota grabbed an early lead with a four-run second inning.
Carlos Santana walked and went to third on Austin Martin's
double. Vazquez drove in the first run with a single to right
field. Two batters later, Castro ripped a three-run shot over
the wall in left field.
The blast was Castro's second homer of the season and his first
since April 13.
The White Sox scored two runs in the third to halve the deficit.
Pillar led off with a solo shot, his first homer of the season,
and Lee followed suit two batters later with a solo blast, his
second.
Braden Shewmake stole home for the White Sox to cut the deficit
to 4-3 in the fifth. Chicago put on a double steal, and Vazquez,
the Minnesota catcher, fired a high throw to second base that
pulled Kyle Farmer off the bag. Shewmake subsequently crossed
the plate for his second stolen base of the game and his fourth
of the season.
The Twins added two runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it
6-3. Kepler reached on an infield single that scored Manuel
Margot. In the next at-bat, Kepler advanced to third base on a
single by Vazquez, and he raced in to score moments later on a
wild pitch by White Sox reliever Deivi Garcia.
