CHICAGO (Interstat) — Brooks Lee’s three-run double in the top of the 11th inning lifted the Minnesota Twins to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Minnesota starter Joe Ryan turned in a dominant outing, working 7 2/3 innings and allowing two runs on five hits while striking out nine. He did not factor in the decision after Chicago rallied in the eighth inning.

The game remained scoreless through three innings as both starters carved through opposing lineups. Burke retired the first nine batters he faced, striking out three. Ryan matched him, allowing only a hit batter and a single while fanning five through the first three frames.

Minnesota broke through in the fourth inning. Trevor Larnach led off with a double to center field. Kody Clemens followed with a triple to right field, scoring Larnach for the game’s first run. Austin Martin then singled to center, driving in Clemens to make it 2-0. Burke escaped further damage by striking out Victor Caratini and Tristan Gray.

Ryan continued to shut down the White Sox, retiring 11 of 12 batters from the end of the third inning through the sixth. He stranded a runner at second base in the fourth after Colson Montgomery and Chase Meidroth singled with two outs, but Andrew Benintendi grounded out to end the threat.

The Twins managed only three hits against Burke after the fourth. The right-hander retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced, striking out four. He left after seven innings having thrown 95 pitches.

Chicago finally broke through against Ryan in the eighth inning. Rikuu Nishida led off with a single to left field. After Sam Antonacci struck out, Munetaka Murakami crushed a 1-1 pitch to right field for his 19th home run of the season, tying the game at 2-2. Ryan was lifted after allowing a double to Montgomery with two outs. Andrew Morris came on and induced a groundout from Meidroth to end the inning.

The Twins went quietly in the ninth against White Sox reliever Bryan Hudson, who struck out two in a perfect inning. Minnesota got a runner on in the 10th against Sean Newcomb, but Orlando Arcia singled and Kody Clemens was thrown out at home trying to score from first on the play. Newcomb worked two scoreless innings with two strikeouts.

In the bottom of the 10th, the White Sox put a runner on third with one out after Sam Antonacci singled and advanced on a throwing error, but Murakami grounded into an unassisted double play to end the inning.

Minnesota broke the tie in the 11th against White Sox reliever Tyler Davis. With Ryan Kreidler on third base as the automatic runner, Luke Keaschall singled to put runners at the corners. James Outman struck out, but Byron Buxton drew a walk after a successful challenge on a pitch call, loading the bases. Lee then laced a double to right field, clearing the bases and giving the Twins a 5-2 lead.

Chicago responded in the bottom half against Twins closer Yoendrys Gómez. With Murakami on second as the automatic runner, Miguel Vargas flied out to deep right, moving Murakami to third. Colson Montgomery struck out, but Meidroth singled to left, scoring Murakami to trim the deficit to 5-3. Gómez struck out Randal Grichuk to end the game and earn his third save.

Taylor Rogers pitched the 10th inning for Minnesota, allowing one hit and striking out one to improve to 1-1. Davis took the loss, falling to 2-2. He allowed three runs on two hits in one inning.

Lee finished 2 for 5 with three RBIs, providing the decisive hit. Murakami drove in two runs for Chicago with his home run. White Sox catcher Drew Romo threw out a runner at the plate in the 10th but could not prevent the Twins from breaking through in the 11th.

The teams conclude their two-game series Wednesday night before the Twins travel to Pittsburgh for a three-game weekend set and the White Sox host Detroit for three games starting Friday.
