The White Sox broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the seventh inning on their way to a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins in Chicago.
Eloy Jimenez smoked an RBI single in the frame, and Billy Hamilton scored from second on a ground out to add another run in the eighth. Gregory Santos earned his first win out of the pen after getting out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the top of the seventh. Keynan Middleton picked up the save, while Luis Robert went deep in the victory. The Southsiders are on a three-game winning streak.
Nick Gordon homered for the second day in a row in the losing effort.
