Marwin Gonzalez hit the tying two-run single off José Ruiz . Then Torreyes, a September roster addition who has only six plate appearances for the Twins this season, crouched in front of a 2-1 fastball with his bat ready to swing before holding off. The ball grazed his right forearm as he lowered it over the plate, triggering the celebration by the Twins after the most unusual walk-off play.
Ryan Cordell hit a two-run homer in the top of the 12th off Ryne Harper for the White Sox, one of four homers allowed by Twins relievers. American League batting leader Tim Anderson went deep in the 11th, before a sacrifice fly by Mitch Garver tied the game again in the bottom of the inning. Miguel Sanó arrived there with a three-run shot to the third deck in left-centre field off Ross Detwiler, joining Nelson Cruz , Max Kepler , Eddie Rosario and Mitch Garver . That gave the Twins 289 home runs, two more than a Yankees team trying to maintain possession of the record.
Detwiler made his first appearance in more than two weeks, subbing for All-Star Lucas Giolito, who was shut down on Monday because of a mild back muscle strain. The absence of Giolito, who is sixth in the American League with a 3.41 ERA and second in White Sox history behind Chris Sale in strikeouts per nine innings , was a clear break for the Twins. They took advantage with a five-run third inning, starting with Ryan LaMarre's leadoff home run.
