After the Twins fell behind after the very first pitch Sunday, it took them awhile to recover. But they did, courtesy of Byron Buxton.
After striking out in his first three at-bats, Buxton belted homers in his next two. His first, a two-run homer in the seventh, tied the score, and his second — a three-run, 469-foot bomb in the bottom of the tenth — gave the Twins the 6-4 victory and first series sweep of the season at Target Field in front of an announced crowd of 16,197. The Twins improve to 8-8 while Chicago falls to 6-9.
To start the extra innings, Yasmani Grandal scored Danny Mendick — who started the 10th on second base — with his base-hit RBI and the White Sox took a 4-3 lead.
