Brooks Lee's bases-loaded double gets it done for Twins in 11-inning, 5-3 win
over White Sox
CHICAGO (AP) --- Brooks Lee hit a bases-loaded double in the 11th inning and
the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.
The Twins improved to 4-1 on their 10-game road trip and have won seven of nine
overall. They had lost seven straight against the White Sox, last winning on
Aug. 22, 2025.
Luke Keaschall singled in the 11th and Byron Buxton drew a walk with an ABS
challenge to load the bases for Lee. He cleared them on the third pitch he saw
and gave Minnesota a 5-2 lead.
The Twins had nearly taken the lead in the 10th inning on Orlando Arcia's
two-out single, but Kody Klemens was thrown out at home by Rikuu Nishida to end
the inning.
Taylor Rogers (1-1) earned the win with a scoreless 10th, and Yoendrys Gmez
earned his third save in the 11th.
Joe Ryan tied a season high with nine strikeouts, allowed five hits and issued
no walks in 7 2/3 innings, his longest outing of the season. He was working on
a shutout until Munetaka Murakami hit a tying two-run homer in the eighth
inning.
The Twins were held hitless until the fourth inning. Trevor Larnach hit a
leadoff double, Clemens got him home with a stand-up triple and Austin Martin
drove in Clemens on a line-drive single.
Sean Burke allowed two runs in seven innings, allowing three hits while
striking out eight and walking two. Tyler Davis (2-2) took the loss in relief.
Up next
White Sox RHP David Sandlin is slated to make his big league debut against
Twins LHP Connor Prielipp (1-2, 4.03) in the third game of the four-game
series. Sandlin will be the 10th player to debut with the White Sox this season.
