In the second inning, the bases were loaded with two outs following a hit, a hit batter and a walk. White Sox starter Bryse Wilson escaped again when he struck out Buxton on a called third strike, painting the outside corner of the plate with a sinker.

Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach homered help the Minnesota Twins beat the last-place Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Wednesday night.

Starter David Festa, who had worked around traffic for most of his start, issued a walk and allowed a single to lead off the fifth, spelling the end of his night. Three runs ended up scoring in the inning, giving the White Sox a lead they held ever-so-briefly.
