The Twins lost 8-5 in a blown game Monday. Lucas Giolito started for the White Sox in front of a defense that couldn't make any plays. The Twins went up 4-0 thanks to the errors, and it looked like the 5-game losing streak may end there. Not so fast, Rich Hill lost command of his curveball in the fourth inning and the White Sox stormed back. Luis Robert homered off a Trevor May hanging slider to tie the game at 5 late before Max Kepler dropped a routine fly ball in right field. The Sox capitalized on the drop and scored three runs. Dallas Keuchel will face Michael Pineda Tuesday in game two.
