Escobar (2 HRs), Dozier lead Twins' slugfest

CHICAGO -- Maybe all it took was a small lineup tweak for the Twins to break out offensively in a 6-4 win over the White Sox on Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

After Brian Dozier was moved out of the leadoff spot for the first time since July 30, 2016, he snapped out of a 3-for-40 funk by tripling in the first and homering in the third off White Sox starter Carson Fulmer. Eduardo Escobar also brought the power with a pair of homers and an RBI double, while Logan Morrison followed Escobar's second homer by crushing a solo shot in the third -- the first time the Twins have hit back-to-back homers this season.
