White Sox Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Twins
Minnesota got a terrific performance from first baseman Freddie Freeman, but it wasn't enough to beat the Chicago White Sox. Chicago won the Guaranteed Rate Field contest, 4-3. Freeman was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Chicago reliever Trevor Gott picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Wandy Peralta shouldered the loss. Chicago leads the American League Central Division by 5½ games.

Michael Brantley was the walk-off hero for Chicago. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the White Sox left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Brantley said.
