MINNEAPOLIS -- Byron Buxton took a curtain call following his first career grand slam and Brian Dozier hit another home run as the Minnesota Twins continued to pound the pitchers on the Chicago White Sox. The celebration of winning a series at home for the first time since the end of July seemed inevitable.Then Minnesotas pitching staff faltered again.Jose Abreu hit two three-run homers and drove in a career-best seven runs, and Chicago used Tim Andersons two-run double in the 12th inning to beat Minnesota 13-11 on Sunday.To have an offensive day like that, and to really have the guys you want in the game at the end with a chance, Twins manager Paul Molitor said of the frustrating pitching performance. I dont know how many of those weve had that would rank up there with that one.Miguel Sano and John Ryan Murphy also went deep for the Twins, who hit 11 homers in the four-game series split.Buxton had three hits and is 9 for 16 with three homers and nine RBI in four games since being recalled from the minors.I think everyones well aware of his trials, Molitor said. He has a moment like that, they acknowledged it. You dont see curtain calls much in September for a last-place team, but it was good.Minnesota owns baseballs worst record at 51-86, but is ninth in runs scored. The pitching staff has surrendered the most second-most earned runs in the majors.Twins left-hander Andrew Albers was charged with five runs, three earned, and six hits in 4 2/3 innings. He had a career-high six strikeouts, but remains in search of his first major league win since Aug. 12, 2013.For us to not be able to pull out a game when they score (11) runs, and they put up (seven) for you as a starter in five innings, for you not to make it through five or six and then put the bullpen in that situation, you dont feel real good about it, Albers said. Unfortunately, I just wasnt quite able to get the job done, and to really put that game away early.Juan Minaya (1-0) earned his first major league win. He pitched a scoreless 11th but walked the first two batters in the 12th. Tommy Kahnle then came in and earned his third career save, retiring Eddie Rosario with the bases loaded for the final out.Minnesota closer Brandon Kintzler allowed two runs in the top of the ninth, blowing a save for the second time in 15 chances. David Robertson gave up one run in the bottom of the inning for his seventh blown save in 40 chances.JUST BELOW KILLEBREWDoziers 35 home runs are the most by any Twins player since Josh Willingham also hit 35 in 2012. He leads the majors with 21 homers since the All-Star break.Only Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew has hit more homers in a single season in Twins history.Dont be putting me in Killebrews, in a sentence with him, Dozier said. Thats pretty cool. Weve still got a little ways to go, but thats pretty cool.UP NEXTWhite Sox: Chris Sale (15-7, 3.10 ERA) starts Monday against the Detroit Tigers, who counter with Justin Verlander (14-7, 3.30 ERA).

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Five tournaments into his rookie season on the PGA Tour, Mackenzie Hughes has the 36-hole lead at Sea Island and expects a few nerves.That weekend he spent with Phil Mickelson should at least help.Hughes had another bogey-free round Friday and took care of the par 5s on the Plantation Course for a 5-under 67, giving him a two-shot lead over C.T. Pan going into the weekend of the RSM Classic, the final PGA Tour event of the year.

That probably wont change for the weekend, especially with tournament host Davis Love III and Sea Island neighbors Zach Johnson and Matt Kuchar among those missing the cut. It was the lowest cut on the PGA Tour since 5 under at the 2015 Zurich Classic.Hughes opened with a 9-under 61 on the Seaside course at Sea Island, while he didnt hit the ball as cleanly over at Plantation, he had few complaints. He picked up three of his birdies at the par 5s, even on the 18th when he found a fairway bunker off the tee and had to lay up.Hughes and Pan, who shot a 64 at Seaside, played together on the Canadian Tour two years ago, and then all last year on the Web.com Tour. Pan had a brief stay atop the world amateur ranking in 2013 when he won eight times at Washington, and he made the cut as an amateur at the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.They will be joined in the final group by Hudson Swafford, who lives at Sea Island and shot a 67 on the Plantation.
