Ryan Jeffers hit a two-out RBI single in the 12th inning to cap a relentless late rally by the Minnesota Twins that secured a 5-4 victory and a series sweep over the White Sox on Sunday.
Jesse Scholtens loaded the bases with nobody out before enticing Christian Vázquez to hit a 2-0 fastball into a shortstop-to-home-to-first double play. That left a runner on third for Jeffers, who lifted the Twins to a three-game lead on Cleveland in the AL Central for their largest margin in more than five weeks.
Alex Kirilloff hit a tying RBI double in a three-run ninth inning against Kendall Graveman, who took his fourth blown save in 12 attempts. Automatic runner Willi Castro stole third base to put the Twins in position to win it in the 11th, but Kirilloff's smash was caught by leaping first baseman Yasmani Grandal. Then Joey Gallo's drag bunt attempt sailed up in the air and all the way past the base to Grandal to end that inning.
