Twins seek series sweep in Chicago as Joe Ryan faces Lance Lynn

CHICAGO — The Twins belted five home runs Tuesday night and rolled past the White Sox 8-2 at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Josh Winder picked up the win, subbing in after Chris Archer went on the injured list.

The teams finish the three-game series today (1:10 p.m., BSN) with the Twins trying for a sweep behind rookie righthander Joe Ryan (6-3, 3.00 ERA). He'll face ex-Twin Lance Lynn, who is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in an injury-plagued season.

The Twins are 4 ¹⁄₂ games ahead of second place Cleveland and 6 ¹⁄₂ up on the White Sox.

Outfielder Eloy Jimenez has been reinstated from the 60-day IL by Chicago and will be in the lineup today. He injured his hamstring running out a grounder on April 23, and then had minor surgery to repair a knee tendon.

Luis Arraez, leading the majors with a .346 batting average, leads off for the Twins and will be the DH, with Byron Buxton hitting third and playing center field.
