CHICAGO — Brooks Lee delivered a bases-loaded double in the 11th inning to lift the Minnesota Twins past the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.
The Twins improved to 4-1 on their 10-game road trip and have now won seven of their last nine games overall. The victory also ended a seven-game losing streak against Chicago, with Minnesota’s previous win in the series coming on Aug. 22, 2025.
Lee’s extra-inning hit proved to be the difference in a tightly contested game that remained close through the late innings. Minnesota capitalized in the 11th to break through and secure the win, while Chicago was unable to answer in its final half-inning.
The result continued Minnesota’s strong recent stretch as the team has stayed hot away from home and has built momentum during the trip. The Twins’ offense came through when it mattered most, with Lee providing the decisive hit in a game where both clubs battled into extras.
Chicago was left to deal with another narrow defeat, as the White Sox could not snap Minnesota’s recent run of success in the series. The loss added to the Twins’ advantage in the matchup after struggling against the White Sox in previous meetings.
Minnesota’s ability to win in extra innings gave the club another important road victory and helped maintain its positive form entering the next game of the trip. The Twins’ surge over the past nine games has included consistent results and timely hitting, with Tuesday’s win serving as another example of the team finding ways to finish close games.
Lee’s double in the 11th will stand out as the key moment of the night, turning a tense, low-scoring matchup into a Twins victory. With the win, Minnesota kept its road trip moving in the right direction and added another chapter to its recent success against Chicago.
