Well hey, the season run tally is now White Sox 15, Twins 13, as the South Siders returned serve and slapped a 10-spot up on Minnesota’s bullpen on Saturday. The game started out nip-and-tuck, with Chicago holding a mere 1-0 lead halfway home, but then thunder struck. Leury García, Edwin Encarnación and Eloy Jiménez all homered to blow the doors off and extend the lead to 5-0. Better, when Nelson Cruz clocked a screaming meemie out to cut the lead to 5-3, the White Sox counterpunched immediately, homers from García and McCann extending the lead to 10-3.

The Starts
It was a much better day for the White Sox starter, with Dallas Keuchel looking like he could have gone seven with ease.
