Colson Montgomery hit a 412-foot grand slam off Mick Abel, sparking a six-run second inning that propelled the White Sox to a 7-3 win. Abel, a top pitching prospect making his Twins debut after being acquired in the Jhoan Duran trade, allowed two hits in the first but issued two walks and surrendered the grand slam in the second. Abel recorded a scoreless third before being removed. Royce Lewis hit his second straight homer, but the Twins produced no further offense. The loss dropped Minnesota to 59-70; the teams meet again Sunday at 1:10 p.m. CT.
Colson Montgomery launched a grand slam off Mick Abel to fuel a six-run second inning for the White Sox as Minnesota went on to lose 7-3 Saturday night in Chicago. Abel, a top pitching prospect acquired in the trade that sent star closer Jhoan Duran to the Phillies, made his Twins debut. He gave up two hits in the first inning but kept the Sox off the scoreboard, only to get blasted in the second inning.
Three of the first four batters singled to begin the second, but a pair of strikeouts had the Sox on the ropes with two runners on and two out. But Abel walked the next two batters and then gave up a 412-foot grand slam to Montgomery. Abel faced only four batters in a scoreless third inning, but that signaled the end of his night.
