GAME 1 IMPACT PLAYER: Yolmer Sanchez, White Sox
His three-run homer helped build a six-run Chicago lead the Twins couldn't surmount.
GAME 2 IMPACT PLAYER: Dillon Gee, Twins
The righthander made it look easy, retiring 18 of the 20 White Sox batters he faced.
BY THE NUMBERS
10 Consecutive home runs by Byron Buxton that came with no runners on base.
6 RBI by Jorge Polanco in the doubleheader, on a pair of three-run homers — one from each side of the plate.
18 Doubleheaders played in Major League Baseball so far in 2017; no team besides the Twins has played more than three.
ON DECK
