Tommy Pham, Gavin Sheets, Andrew Vaughn, and
Danny Mendick had two hits each for the White Sox.
Caleb Thielbar (1-1) threw two pitches, retired two batters and
got the victory.
Mendick smacked a two-run home run in the fifth inning to give
Chicago a 4-2 lead. Minnesota halved the deficit in the sixth as
Ryan Jeffers stole home on the back end of a double steal.
Consecutive two-out RBI singles from Carlos Correa and Larnach
gave the Twins a 5-4 advantage in the top of the eighth.
Andrew Benintendi answered with a game-tying solo homer for the
White Sox in the bottom half, but Chicago's bullpen struggles
continued as Michael Kopech (0-3) allowed Kepler's sacrifice
fly. Byron Buxton, who walked to lead off the inning, scored on
the play.
Eloy Jimenez's third-inning RBI single put the White Sox ahead
1-0. Minnesota starter Simeon Woods Richardson yielded four hits
in the inning but only one run. A strong relay and tag play
earlier in the frame erased Chicago's Martin Maldonado at the
plate as he tried to score from first base on Pham's double.
Chicago added an unearned run in the fourth before Minnesota
tied the game at 2 in the fifth, rallying after Larnach notched
the team's first hit with a leadoff single. Willi Castro hit an
RBI triple and scored on Kyle Farmer's double one batter later.
Woods Richardson yielded two runs (one earned) and seven hits in
3 2/3 innings with two walks and two strikeouts.
Chicago starter Michael Soroka allowed two runs and three hits
in 4 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out three.
Carlos Santana extended his hitting streak to six games as
Minnesota won a ninth straight game for the first time since
June 2008.
