Jhoan Duran made his season debut and picked up his first save of the season.
Kepler broke a tie game with a sacrifice fly that scored Byron Buxton in the ninth inning to lift the Twins to a 6-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago. It came a night after Kepler hit an RBI single for the go-ahead run in the ninth inning in a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. The win is the Twins ’ ninth straight.
Buxton drew a leadoff walk to begin the ninth inning, and Manny Margot singled after Edouard Julien struck out to put runners at first and third. Then Kepler drove in the go-ahead run for the second night in a row, leading the Twins to their ninth straight victory. They haven’t won 10 in a row since the 2008 season. Simeon Woods Richardson pitched a 1-2-3 first inning and a shutout second inning before getting tagged in the third.
The Twins tied it up in the fifth inning when Trevor Larnach led off the frame with a single, and after Carlos Santana grounded out, Willi Castro hit a triple to left field that scored Larnach. Then Kyle Farmer followed up with a double as he continued his resurgence at the plate. But Danny Mendick immediately answered with a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning, one that went 404 feet into left-center field for a 4-2 White Sox lead.
