An announced crowd of 11,721 fans and more than 300 dogs watched the Twins lose 12-3 to the Chicago White Sox at Target Field as they surrendered 11 unanswered runs. The Twins held two early leads, scoring first on Trevor Larnach's RBI after Byron Buxton's leadoff triple and later when Ryan Fitzgerald drove in a run. Errors on throws to second base produced multiple runs in the fifth and sixth innings. The White Sox added four runs in the seventh and three in the eighth to break the game open. A splintered bat struck pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson during a misplayed attempt at a double play.
An announced crowd of 11,721 fans - along with more than 300 canine friends - watched the Twins get routed by the Chicago White Sox, falling 12-3 in the second game of the series at Target Field as they gave up 11 unanswered runs. "I'm going to stay optimistic most of the time, but that wasn't good," manager Rocco Baldelli said.
With a runner on first in the fifth inning, White Sox right fielder Will Robertson hit a ball back at Woods Richardson, his bat splintering in the process. The barrel flew back at the pitcher, who ducked and tried to dodge it. But his throw to second to get the lead runner sailed over Brooks Lee's head and into the outfield. The bat did actually nick Woods Richardson during the play, striking him in the neck.
