Twins Walk It Off for 75th Win of Season
Despite a fine performance by center fielder Kerry Robinson, the Chicago White Sox lost to the Minnesota Twins, 9-5. Robinson was 5 for 5 with a home run, 2 doubles, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Ryan Lynch came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. His record now stands at 4-5. The Twins now own a record of 75-82.

Minnesota got a knockout punch from Ryan Radmanovich. The first baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

Radmanovich said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
