Carlos Correa drove in a run during Minnesota's five-run 12th inning, and he and Byron Buxton homered to lift the Twins over the Chicago White Sox 7-3 Thursday and avoid a three-game sweep.
The AL Central-leading Twins had lost three of four. Correa spurred Minnesota to victory hours after downplaying remarks from Chicago reliever Keynan Middleton, who called Correa "a cheater" in reference to his time with the Houston Astros. "These games are good because a lot of people have to do a lot of good things in order to win," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. "Everyone kept their cool and kept playing well and lasted long enough for the late-inning explosion.
"It's probably the best we've been since I've been here," Pagán said of his bullpen mates, who issued five intentional walks in the final five innings while allowing just one hit. Jiménez singled in the first to extend his hitting streak to seven games, then smacked Pablo López's pitch into the left-center stands in the third to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead.
"We were 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position," Chicago manager Pedro Grifol said. "We had some good hitters at the plate. ... Just one of those days, man." "I've heard worse," Correa told reporters before Thursday's series finale. "I'm just glad he's doing good and he's playing good and he can take care of his family.
