The 20,106 die-hards who populated U.S. Cellular Field on Saturday were not exactly chanting “Let’s play two!” when the White Sox hosted the Twins. But that is what they got between the AL Central bottom-feeders.
Dayan Viciedo provided the heroics with a two-run homer in the ninth for a 7-6 victory and series sweep.
On the mound
Sox starter Scott Carroll went five innings before leaving with a torn fingernail on his pitching hand. He allowed four runs on four hits
At the plate
Trevor Plouffe hit a homer in the sixth, his 13th of the season, to put the Twins ahead 5-4. Conor Gillaspie tied the game 5-5 with a two-out RBI single in the seventh.
The number
100: Jose Abreu drove in his 100th run of the season with a home run in the fifth, his 34th, to tie the game 4-4.
The quote
Dayan Viciedo talking about his walk-off home run: “I was just concentrating, trying to look for my pitches … and if I got my pitch over the plate, I was going to try to make good contact, not necessarily looking for anything else. Thank God I was able to do what I did.”
