Tommy Pham homered, doubled and drove in two
runs, and Robbie Grossman doubled twice to keep Chicago afloat
before bullpen woes took a toll. The Twins scored six runs in
the seventh inning or later.
White Sox pitching issued seven walks, including three when
reliever Steven Wilson walked the bases loaded with two out in
the sixth. Chicago appeared to escape the jam when Dominic Leone
entered the game, but shortstop Paul DeJong missed Castro's
grounder, allowing two runs to score to tie the game at 4.
Minnesota took a 6-4 lead in the seventh behind consecutive RBI
singles from Max Kepler and Miranda, who entered the game after
Byron Buxton left with right knee soreness. Korey Lee hit a solo
home run in the bottom half to draw the White Sox within 6-5.
Ryan Jeffers' two-run double punctuated the Twins' four-run
ninth. His two RBIs matched Miranda for the team high.
Chicago collected two runs and three hits against Twins
right-hander Bailey Ober in the first inning. Pham drove home a
run with a double and scored on Andrew Vaughn's RBI single two
batters later.
Pham reached Ober for his first home run with the White Sox in
the third. The two-out solo shot to left-center gave him homers
with eight teams, snapping a tie with Minnesota's Carlos Santana
for most among active major leaguers.
Ober (3-1) worked six innings, allowing four runs and six hits
while striking out three.
Leone (0-1) took the loss after yielding two runs in two-thirds
of an inning with two walks and two strikeouts.
White Sox starter Chris Flexen spaced two runs and four hits in
five innings with two walks and four strikeouts.
Home plate umpire James Hoye ejected White Sox catching coach
Drew Butera in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes.
