"Teel drew a good walk, guys at the bottom of the order were scrappy. You could say they wore (Twins starter Mick Abel) down a little bit for the guys at the top of the order. Vargas had a really good at-bat too. I was just sticking with my approach, staying aggressive, knew he had to come at me, bases loaded. He didn't want to walk another guy. Was just staying on the attack and trying to be short to the ball."
"When you go through things, you kind of think about, 'I need to get two hits, I need to get three hits.' (But) just put one good swing on the ball and it can make a difference. I've been sticking to that approach. (Hitting coach) Marcus (Thames) and (assistant hitting coach) Joel (McKeithan) have done a good job of keeping me patient and not run wild trying to fix so many things."
Colson Montgomery drilled a 1-0 sinker over the wall in right-center for his first career grand slam, capping a six-run second inning that propelled the White Sox to a 7-3 victory. The rally began after Kyle Teel drew a walk and scrappy at-bats from lower-order hitters wore down Twins starter Mick Abel. Montgomery went 2-for-4 with four RBIs, marking his second straight multi-hit game and second consecutive homer after a 2-for-19 stretch. The rookie has 12 homers in 41 games. Hitting coaches Marcus Thames and Joel McKeithan emphasized patience and a short, aggressive swing. Attendance was 16,998 at Rate Field.
