Twins Rally to Eke Out Win
Minnesota Twins starter Drew Rasmussen turned in a sterling performance against the Chicago White Sox, leading his team to a slim, 3-2 win in 11 innings. The winner was Minnesota reliever Brusdar Graterol, now 3-0. The loser was Gregory Soto. Louie Varland wrapped it up, recording his 1st save.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Byron Buxton? The two-time All-Star Buxton stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put Minnesota up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Rasmussen. "I like it."

By defeating Chicago, the 4th-place Twins improved to 16-18.
