The Twins nearly blew a four-run lead in the eighth inning. Lefty reliever Génesis Cabrera recorded only one out, giving up a hit and two walks. Justin Topa surrendered a bases-loaded walk and two RBI singles to his first three batters before inducing a foul ball against Colson Montgomery.

Lewis hit his sixth career grand slam to lead the Twins past the White Sox in a battle between teams who came in with the AL's worst records.
