Four Minnesota relievers each pitched a shutout
inning after Pablo Lopez surrendered two runs over five innings
on four hits, including a solo home run by Martin Maldonado.
Lopez walked one and struck out five.
Steven Okert (3-0), Jorge Alcala, Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran
combined to give up no hits and just one walk, with four
strikeouts. Duran picked up his 14th save with a 1-2-3 ninth
inning, including two strikeouts.
In his sixth career start, White Sox right-hander Drew Thorpe
went six innings, giving up three hits, but two were the
consecutive homers that tied the game at 2-2. He walked one and
fanned one.
Lee's homer was his second of the season, and Correa clubbed his
13th.
In the seventh, the Twins' Byron Buxton greeted reliever Michael
Soroka (0-10) with a double, and after a flyout, Jeffers singled
to left to drive in the go-ahead run.
Chad Kuhl pitched the last two innings for the White Sox. He
escaped a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the eighth to keep
the game close.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Andrew
Benintendi's RBI double. The White Sox added to the lead on
Maldonado's fourth bomb of the season to lead off the third.
The Twins finished with five hits to four for the White Sox.
Five of the combined nine hits went for extra bases.
Minnesota won for the fourth time in its last five games, while
Chicago has dropped four of five.
