The Twins nearly blew a four-run lead in the eighth inning. Lefty reliever Génesis Cabrera recorded only one out, giving up a hit and two walks. Justin Topa surrendered a bases-loaded walk and two RBI singles to his first three batters before inducing a foul ball against Colson Montgomery.

And one pitch later, Royce Lewis drove Civale’s cutter 386 feet for a grand slam to give the Twins a 4-1 lead. One pitch brought home every run the Twins scored off Civale, who finished with five innings, five hits, four earned runs, four walks and five strikeouts.

Lewis hit the sixth grand slam of his career Friday, then saved the game with a dazzling defensive play, for good measure.

Royce Lewis went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and Byron Buxton, Luke Keaschall and Edouard Julien each had two hits and an RBI to lift the visiting Minnesota Twins to a 9-7 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
