Twins triumph over White Sox in extra innings.
Despite being short-handed due to injuries, the Minnesota Twins defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-3 in 10 innings thanks to a dominant pitching performance from newcomer Pablo López, who retired 23 consecutive batters and struck out 10. Byron Buxton hit his 100th career homer and Michael A. Taylor provided the walk-off hit. The Twins have focused on depth this offseason, and it has paid off with capable fill-ins stepping up in the face of injuries.
