“I had to kind of battle my way through this,” Ober said.
The White Sox, who outhit the Twins 10-5, spotted the Twins their first two runs with poor defense. After Trevor Larnach drew a leadoff four-pitch walk in the second inning, Carlos Correa bounced a ground ball to first base. Vaughn, the White Sox’s first baseman, fired a throw to second to start a double play, and White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa saw the ball deflect off his glove and roll into shallow left field.
Larnach advanced to third on Sosa’s error, and Ty France followed with an RBI single he hit through the right side of the infield.
In the third inning, Luke Keaschall drew a two-out walk and stole second base. Larnach, the next batter, hit a dribbler that rolled about 10 feet in front of the plate. White Sox catcher Edgar Quero whipped a throw that plunked Larnach in the back. Keaschall, realizing no one was covering the plate as the ball briefly bounced away, scored from second base with a headfirst slide.
