Sox ruin Twins home opener, with 4-1 win

By Dave Campbell,  AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Austin Jackson hit a two-run, two-out single in the fourth inning one pitch after just missing a grand slam, lifting the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 victory Monday that spoiled Minnesota’s home opener and stuck the winless Twins with their seventh straight loss.

Jose Quintana (1-0) completed six smooth innings with one run allowed for the White Sox, who have won five of their first seven games. Todd Frazier sparked a second-inning rally with a leadoff single and later added an RBI double.

Twins starter Kyle Gibson (0-2) was charged with only one earned run over 5 2/3 innings, but he was in trouble often and threw a wild pitch that set up Frazier to score on a single by Brett Lawrie.

The Twins host Chicago Tuesday night, with first pitch at 710pm. The game broadast can be heard on WLS-AM 890.
