| 5/12/21 | Abreu, Grandal homer, White Sox top Twins 9-3. CHICAGO (AP) — José Abreu hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the sixth inning and the Chicago White Sox won their fourth straight, 9-3 over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Abreu went deep to left center on the first pitch he saw from Jorge Alcala (0-1) for his seventh homer. He narrowly missed another one in the third when Max Kepler reached over the right-center wall to catch Abreu's drive. The AL MVP had two hits and scored three runs. Yasmani Grandal lofted a three-run homer in the second for first-place Chicago. It was just the sixth multi-homer game for the White Sox, who are missing slugging young outfielders Eloy Jiménez and Luis Robert with long-term injuries. No matter. The White Sox are rolling. “I'm getting spoiled,” manager Tony La Russa said. “We're going every night. Our offense up and down the lineup did the job. Then the big outs by the bullpen.” Garrett Crochet (1-2), the second of five Chicago relievers, worked two-thirds of an inning for his first career win. The 6-foot-6 lefty was reinstated from the IL last Friday after recovering from an upper back strain. “I've been looking forward to this moment for a while,” said Crochet, who worked on his mechanics while injured. “I was ready to go on the attack from the moment I went on the mound." Tim Anderson and Adam Eaton each had two hits and drove in insurance runs in the seventh. Leury Garcia and Nick Madrigal added RBI singles in the eighth for Chicago. “That's what you've got to like about our offense, with the big guys missing,” La Russa said. “The way we competed through the eighth inning is a good sign.” Jorge Polanco had a solo shot among two hits for Minnesota, which has dropped two straight and five of six.
