Kyle Alexander (5-13), the sixth of seven
pitchers for the White Sox, earned the win. Jordan Leasure
retired all four batters he faced to earn his fifth save of the
season.
Royce Lewis homered and Byron Buxton drove in two runs for
Minnesota. Twins starter Bailey Ober allowed four runs on six
hits in five innings and had three strikeouts and two walks.
Montgomery led off the second with a solo homer, and three
batters later Meidroth added a two-run shot to give the White
Sox an early 3-0 lead.
The Twins tied it in the sixth on a homer by Lewis and a
sacrifice fly by Buxton sacrifice fly and went ahead 5-4 an
inning later on an RBI single with two out by Brooks Lee.
Key moment
With runners on the corners and one out in the sixth, Meidroth
hit a sharp grounder to the left side of a drawn-in infield.
Shortstop Lee made the play and fired home in time for Ryan
Jeffers to apply the tag on Montgomery and the White Sox came up
empty. The Twins tied the game in the bottom of the inning.
Key stat
Montgomery has homered in four straight games against the Twins.
Up next
RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (5-4, 4.59 ERA) will start for the
Twins against RHP Davis Martin (5-9, 4.03) on Tuesday.
