Nelson Cruz hit a sixth-inning homer and drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 3-2 victory over the host Chicago White Sox in the first game of a doubleheader on Monday.
Minnesota's Jorge Polanco added an RBI single in the top of the eighth. Chicago's Jose Abreu responded with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the inning, but he was stranded at second base.
Luis Arraez, Ryan Jeffers and Polanco each had two hits for Minnesota, which snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 3-10 against the White Sox this season.
