MINNEAPOLIS — Righthander Pablo Lopez pitched 7⅔ strong innings but didn't get the decision as the Twins blew a ninth-inning lead before winning 4-3 in 10 innings.
The Twins led 3-2 heading into the ninth inning and had closer Jhoan Duran on the mound. Luis Robert Jr. hit the first pitch from Duran 400 feet to left-center to tie the score and stun the announced crowd of 16,153.
In the bottom of the tenth, with Willi Castro entering the game as the ghost runner at second, leadoff hitter Michael A. Taylor bunted to third. But White Sox third baseman Hanser Alberto fielded the ball and threw wildly to first. Castro scored the winning run.
