CHICAGO (AP) – Alex Kirilloff hit two of Minnesota’s five home runs, Jorge Polanco went deep on his birthday for the second time and the Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 8-2.
Kirilloff had his second career multi-homer game. He went back to back with Polanco against slumping White Sox starter Michael Kopech in a three-run fifth and added a two-run drive against Vince Velasquez in the seventh.
Max Kepler and Jose Miranda also connected, and the AL Central-leading Twins finished one homer shy of their season high.
Josh Winder pitched five solid innings on short notice with Chris Archer going on the 15-day injured list because of tightness in his left hip, and Minnesota improved to 5-0 against the reigning division champions.
