Wild walk-off: Twins tighten grip on Card

It was yet another show of resilience from the red-hot Twins, who are surging into September after one of the best months in club history. After trailing by a run in the ninth, Max Kepler served as the hero, as he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to give the Twins a 5-4 walk-off win over the White Sox on Thursday at Target Field. It helped notch the team’s third walk-off of the season, and it completed a three-game sweep over Chicago to extend Minnesota’s win streak to four games.
