Colson Montgomery delivered his first career grand slam in the second inning, a 412-foot shot to right-center that extended the White Sox lead to six runs. Chase Meidroth added an RBI earlier in the inning. Minnesota called up prospect Mick Abel from Triple-A; Abel lasted three innings and surrendered all six runs in the second. Abel had recently posted a 1.76 ERA in Triple-A. Luis Robert Jr. homered in the eighth, and Davis Martin allowed two runs over five innings to earn the victory. The Twins supplied three solo homers and received four shutout relief innings from Thomas Hatch.
Montgomery's 12th homer of the season came in the second inning and was a 412-foot shot to right-center off starter Mick Abel, one of the Twins top prospects who was called up from Triple-A earlier in the day. The slam increased Chicago's lead to six runs. Earlier in the inning, Chase Meidroth drove in Andrew Benintendi on a single.
The 24-year-old Abel (2-3), acquired from Philadelphia in the Jhoan Duran trade at the deadline, lasted three innings, allowing all six of his runs in the second, with two strikeouts and two walks. Abel was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday after posting a 1.76 ERA while holding opponents to a .140 batting average over his last three starts in the minors.
The Twins got solo homers from Cody Clemens, his 14th, Matt Wallner, his 17th, and Royce Lewis, his eighth. Thomas Hatch pitched four shutout innings in relief for Minnesota. Robert hit his 14th home run of the season in the eighth, a 427-foot shot to left-center off Tyler Alexander. Davis Martin (5-9) earned the win. He allowed five hits and two runs in five innings, with six strikeouts and a walk.
