Miguel Vargas socked a two-run homer for the
White Sox, who managed only three hits while extending their
franchise-worst skid.
Minnesota put the game out of reach by scoring six runs in the
eighth inning.
Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (7-7) earned his first win since
July 6 as he held Chicago to two runs on three hits in 6 1/3
innings. He walked three and struck out seven.
White Sox right-hander Davis Martin (0-1) allowed four runs on
six hits in 3 2/3 innings in his first start of the season. He
walked three and fanned five.
Jorge Alcala, Griffin Jax and Trevor Richards combined for 2 2/3
scoreless innings of relief for the Twins. It marked the team
debut for Richards, whom Minnesota acquired from the Toronto
Blue Jays before the trade deadline.
The Twins grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first thanks to one swing by
Lewis. He pulled a 409-foot, two-out shot to left field for his
12th homer of the season.
Vargas evened the score with a two-run homer for the White Sox
in the third. The blast to left-center field marked Vargas'
first hit for Chicago, which acquired him in a three-way deal
this week with the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals.
Lewis put the Twins back on top with a two-run double in the
bottom of the third.
The score remained 4-2 until the eighth, when the Twins erupted
for six runs against the Chicago bullpen. Vazquez started the
scoring with a two-run double to left, and Castro followed in
the next at-bat with a two-run shot to make it 8-2.
Trevor Larnach drew a walk, and Buxton finished the big inning
with a two-run homer to center, his 14th long ball of the year.
