Keaschall, Gray and Alex Jackson — batting seventh, eighth and
ninth — each had two hits off Martin (8-2), who lasted 4 2/3
innings in his shortest of 12 starts this season. The
29-year-old allowed six runs on a career-most 10 hits and three
walks, after entering the night ranked sixth in the majors with
a 2.00 ERA.
Gray, who hit a grand slam in Minnesota's 9-6 win on Monday, had
a two-run single in a four-run fourth against Martin, who had
allowed one or no runs in seven of his last eight turns. Brooks
Lee, who has 11 RBIs in his last 11 games, got the Twins on the
board with a sacrifice fly in the third inning after they fell
behind 3-0.
Connor Prielipp (2-3) pitched into the seventh to match his
longest start as a pro, as the Twins carefully manage the
workload of one of their top prospects with his history of elbow
injuries. The left-hander had seven strikeouts, allowing four
runs on six hits and three walks over a career-high 94 pitches.
Twins relievers had seven more strikeouts over the final three
innings, as Yoendrys Gómez got the last four outs for his fourth
save.
Miguel Vargas hit a two-run single for the White Sox, who have
lost eight of their last 10 road games.
Luisangel Acuña stole three bases off Jackson, including second
and third after a leadoff walk in the third. He easily scored
when the catcher's throw to third sailed into left field.
Up next
Eric Fedde (0-5, 5.40 ERA) pitches for Chicago on Wednesday
afternoon. Taj Bradley (5-1, 3.21 ERA) takes the mound for
Minnesota.
