Montgomery's First Grand Slam Evens Series After Lewis' Big Night

Twins prospect Mick Abel allowed six runs in a tough debut.

Overview

  • Chicago beat Minnesota 7-3 as rookie Colson Montgomery hit a 412-foot grand slam in the second inning off newly recalled starter Mick Abel, with Luis Robert Jr. adding a late homer.
  • Abel, acquired in the Jhoan Duran trade and brought up from Triple-A St. Paul that day, surrendered six runs in the second and exited after three innings.
  • Davis Martin earned the win for the White Sox, while the Twins' runs came on solo homers by Cody Clemens, Matt Wallner, and Royce Lewis.
  • One night earlier, the Twins prevailed 9-7 on Lewis' sixth career grand slam and his eighth-inning throw that nailed Miguel Vargas at home to preserve the lead.
  • Byron Buxton scored his 500th career run in the opener, which also ended Minnesota's three-game losing streak.
