Max Kepler drew a two-out walk with the bases loaded in the 13th inning and the Minnesota Twins outlasted the Chicago White Sox 2-1 Thursday.

The Twins pushed across the go-ahead run after Logan Morrison doubled off left fielder Charlie Tilson’s glove with two outs. Hector Santiago (2-3) [url=http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/james-daniels-jersey]Authentic James Daniels Jersey[/url] , the sixth White Sox reliever, intentionally walked Ehire Adrianza before walking Jake Cave and Kepler.

Alan Busenitz (2-0), the Twins’ sixth reliever, pitched 1 2/3 innings for the win.

Minnesota bounced back after the White Sox tied it with two outs in the bottom of the ninth when closer Fernando Rodney walked pinch-hitter Daniel Palka on four pitches to force in a run.

Rodney quickly got the first two Chicago hitters in the inning, but ended up blowing his fourth save in 21 chances. Yolmer Sanchez singled, Rodney hit Tim Anderson with a pitch and Charlie Tilson walked before Palka also walked.

Morrison hit his ninth homer deep to right to lead off the seventh for a 1-0 lead. The drive was just Minnesota’s second hit off White Sox starter Lucas Giolito, who didn’t allow any until Eddie Rosario lined a double off first baseman Jose Abreu’s glove with one out in the sixth.

Twins starter Jake Odorizzi tossed six shutout innings in his best outing in more than a month, allowing three hits and striking out eight. The righty was 0-3 with an 8.77 ERA in his six previous starts.

Giolito recovered after walking the bases loaded in the first for his lowest-scoring outing this season. The 6-foot-6 righty, who entered with a 7.01 ERA, allowed one run on four hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings. He leads the AL with 51 walks.

Giolito escaped the first without allowing a run despite throwing just 11 of his first 26 pitches for strikes.

The White Sox barely threatened against Odorizzi.

BOOTED

Anderson, Chicago’s shortstop [url=http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/oren-burks-jersey]Authentic Oren Burks Jersey[/url] , was ejected for the second time in his career in the 11th when he argued with umpire Gerry Davis after being caught stealing second.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Twins: RF Taylor Motter hit the wall hard trying to catch Yoan Moncada’s double in the sixth. Motter stayed down on the warning track for a couple of minutes, but was tended to by the trainer and remained in the game until Kepler pinch hit for him in the seventh. . INF Jorge Polanco (PED suspension) was scheduled to DH in one game and play shortstop in the other in a doubleheader for Triple-A Rochester on Thursday. He can be reinstated on July 5. . OF Byron Buxton (fractured left big toe) will play DH and play center field for Rochester.

White Sox: Sanchez left the game in the 13th after tripping on first base when he ran out a grounder. . Manager Rick Renteria said OF Nicky Delmonico (broken right middle finger) will start swinging a bat soon, but isn’t close to beginning a rehab assignment.

UP NEXT

Twins: Ace RHP Jose Berrios (8-5, 3.15) takes the mound against LHP Mike Montgomery (2-2, 3.39) as the Twins move across town and meet the Cubs in the opener of a three-game interleague set that starts Friday. Berrios has won his last three decisions over five starts in June and has a 2.10 ERA during the span.

White Sox: RHP Dylan Covey (3-2, 3.45) faces RHP Yovani Gallardo when Chicago opens a three-game series at Texas on Friday. Covey left in the fifth inning of his previous start, last Saturday, with a right hip flexor strain, but after throwing a bullpen session on Tuesday said he felt fine.

Much like their inaugural campaign has gone, the Vegas Golden Knights are charmed. They can call up a player for his season debut, fly him halfway across North America and he performs like he’s been around all season.

The surging Golden Knights go for their fourth straight win Thursday night when they face league scoring leader Connor McDavid and the skidding Edmonton Oilers.

Vegas (51-22-7) recalled center Brandon Pirri from the AHL’s Chicago Wolves on Monday. After taking a commercial flight — and sitting in a middle seat — the center collected his first two-goal game since Oct. 26 [url=http://www.bearsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-james-daniels-jersey]Bears James Daniels Jersey[/url] , 2016, and helped lift the Golden Knights to a 5-4 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.

“A little character-building,” Pirri said of his trek to the Pacific Northwest. “This is where I want to be, and I was happy to get the opportunity.”

The Golden Knights, who are headed to the postseason as Pacific Division champions, haven’t had many eyebrow-raising losses this season. One was an 8-2 setback to the Oilers on Nov. 14 at Rogers Place. Maxime Lagace stopped 22 of 29 shots before being replaced by Dylan Ferguson, who yielded one goal over the final nine-plus minutes.

Marc-Andre Fleury, who was given the night off Monday, is 8-0-1 with a 2.09 goals-against average and a shutout in his last nine games in Edmonton.

Coach Gerard Gallant has been behind benches long enough to know nights like the first visit to Edmonton will happen. Neither his confidence nor that in the team is shaken.

“There’s no team that we come in and say ‘uh oh, it’s going to be a tough night tonight,'” he told the team’s official website. “When we play our game at the top of our game [url=http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-nick-nelson-jersey]Raiders Nick Nelson Jersey[/url] , when we’re playing well, there’s no team that we can’t beat. I think anyone in the NHL could say the same thing. We’re not intimidated by anybody.”

Vegas is 1-1-1 against the Oilers this season, and center William Karlsson has scored two of his 43 goals in the season series. Karlsson, who totaled 18 goals coming into this season, trails only Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets (44 goals) and Alex Ovechkin (46) for the Maurice Richard Trophy.

The Knights are expected to have center Erik Haula back in the lineup after sitting out against the Canucks, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Haula needs one goal to reach 30 and ranks fifth on the team with 55 points.

Heading into the season, Edmonton (34-40-6) was expected not just to contend for a division crown, but for the Stanley Cup. Instead, the Oilers are mired in an 0-4-1 skid after being blanked for the ninth time this season 3-0 to the playoff-bound Minnesota Wild on Monday.

After facing the Knights, Edmonton wraps up its season on Saturday night against the Canucks — and in the final NHL game for future Hall of Famers Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin.

“We want to win. Every team wants to finish off the season good,” Edmonton defenseman Adam Larsson said. “We should be really hungry coming into these two games [url=http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-robert-griffin-iii-jersey]http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-robert-griffin-iii-jersey[/url] , finish off strong, especially at home too.”

A strong finish should give McDavid his second straight Art Ross Trophy after putting up a 100-point campaign in 2016-17. The reigning NHL Player of the Month has 103 points — a five-point lead over Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning and six more than Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers. All three players have two games remaining.

McDavid, who has failed to register a point in each of his last two games, has five points (two goals, three assists) in three games versus Vegas.

Cam Talbot has started all five games during Edmonton’s skid, but has been pulled early in two of them. He’s allowed eight goals while winning two of three from the Golden Knights. Al Montoya is 1-2-2 with a 3.50 GAA in his last seven games (five starts) with the Oilers.

“It’s important that we give each other everything we have and give the fans a deserving effort and deserving performance,” Oilers coach Todd McLellan said. “We’ll continue to push the team. We’ll prepare them the same way.”
