MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Tristan Gray hit a grand slam in the fourth inning and the Minnesota Twins added four more runs in the fifth on the way to a 9-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.
The Twins snapped a five-game losing streak. The White Sox had their five-game winning streak halted.
Gray’s 384-foot shot over the wall in right field — his second career grand slam and first since the Twins’ home opener on April 3 — gave Minnesota a 5-1 lead it never surrendered.
Trevor Larnach hit an RBI single in the first to get the Twins on the board. Austin Martin and Victor Caratini added one-run singles in the fifth before Luke Keaschall and Gray each drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to stretch Minnesota’s lead to 9-4.
Joe Ryan (4-3) allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings with nine strike outs. Travis Adams allowed two runs in the ninth before closing out the win.
