CHICAGO (AP) – Playing in a big game in a pennant race, Dane Dunning looked like a veteran in his fifth primary league opening.
He also had company. Not a promising youth organization, the Chicago White Sox is watching the rest of the American League.
Dunning pitched seven effective innings, Luis Robert had two unearned runs and the White Sods maintained control over American League Central by beating the Minnesota Twins 6-2 on Tuesday night.
Dunning (2-0) allowed a clean run and 3 hits at its best since his debut on August 19. Seeming balanced and confident, the 25-year-old right pulled out seven and made two on the longest exit. of his career.
“I feel comfortable right now, ” said Dunning. ” The beginnings obviously the nerves are a little high, but after that, I feel pretty calm, pretty calm. I’m just looking to go out and pass strikes. “
Tim Anderson and James McCann hit home runs while Chicago (32-16) earned their sixth direct and complex 3-game forward win from second-place Minnesota, which won the Central Division of the American League last year. the first time since they were 71-55 years old on August 26, 2012.
“You look up and down our lineup and there’s no rest,” McCann said.
Byron Buxton hit the park’s third internal run for Minnesota, but the Twins finished with four hits. Randy Dobnak (6-four) allowed four runs and eight hits in four 0. 33 innings in his moment of direct defeat.
“I’m not satisfied with the way I’m throwing, ” said Dobnak. “I didn’t get ahead of the boys. It’s a kind of game: attacking the boys. Give them first-step shots. “
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli and designated hitter Nelson Cruz were sent off through marble referee Will Little after Ryan Jeffers made a third shot for the seventh-round final, the third-kick in his career for both.
Buxton showed his impressive speed in the third, tying at 1 when he ran around the bases for his ninth run home. Buxton’s impulse to the deep center collapsed on the wall after Robert attempted to make a leap, and Buxton gently scored with a sublime head. slide first.
“Just another post through Byron of him popping up things we can’t see on a baseball field,” Baldelli said. “We know how special his talents are, and it’s a pleasure to see him run around the bases.
Buxton and the Twins think he had a home run in the ninth of Monday’s 3-1 loss, but that replaced a rule-of-law double after a replay review led to a resolution that his left-handed lining fell off. back of the wall.
This time, Buxton controlled to maintain his first race inside the park since August 18, 2017, but the White Sox took three runs behind in the third.
McCann hit a decisive double, and Robert continued with a double in the field against a tied draw. McCann and José Abreu scored to give Chicago a 4-1 lead.
After Buxton hit Jeffers a single in the fifth, Chicago responded with Anderson’s solo careers in sixth and McCann in seventh grade.
Anderson hit three hits and scored twice, and Abreu also finished with three hits. Anderson and Abreu are serious contenders for the American League Most Valuable Player award.
