"Funderburk got Colson Montgomery to pop out to start the inning but then gave up a single and a walk before Topa replaced him. Topa struck out the first batter he faced, so the Sox were down to their final out and the tying run was at the plate. Brooks Baldwin's run-scoring single made it a 3-2 game, and then former Twins center fielder Michael A. Taylor ripped a two-out, two-run double to give Chicago the lead."
"The announced attendance (tickets sold) was 11,904, marking the second consecutive sub-12,000 paid total for the Twins. On Tuesday, a similarly small crowd set a September paid attendance record low at Target Field. Of course, the paid total is larger than the number of fans actuallly at the ballpark, which was obvious from our Will Ragatz's view from behind home plate."
The Chicago White Sox rallied for a 4-3 victory at Target Field by scoring three runs in the ninth inning, all with two outs. The win ended a 205-game franchise streak of losses when trailing after eight innings, including 72 this season. Reliever Kody Funderburk allowed a single and a walk before Justin Topa replaced him; Topa struck out the first batter he faced, then Brooks Baldwin delivered a run-scoring single and Michael A. Taylor hit a two-out, two-run double. The Twins threatened in the bottom of the ninth but left the bases loaded. The announced attendance was 11,904 and the Twins fell to 62-77, 15 games under .500 and fourth-worst in MLB.
