Kepler hits sacrifice fly in 9th inning to lift Twins to 6
CHICAGO (AP) — Max Kepler drove in the tiebreaking run in the ninth inning for the second straight game, this time with a sacrifice fly, and the Minnesota Twins won their ninth in a row, 6-5 over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
The Twins extended their longest win streak since a 10-game run in June 2008. They also won their seventh in a row against the White Sox and put themselves in position to sweep Chicago again after taking four at Target Field last week, though this one certainly wasn’t easy.
“Pretty tough bunch of guys,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “I don’t feel like we’re one dimensional or two dimensional. I feel like we can win games in all the ways. ... It’s fun to watch from the dugout right now.”
Chicago’s Andrew Benintendi homered leading off the eighth to tie it at 5 after Minnesota scored twice in the top half. But the Twins pulled it out in the ninth.
