The Twins cruised to an 8-1 win over the White Sox Sunday in Chicago thanks to two Brian Dozier home runs. The Twins are leaving Chicago after winning two of three games in the weekend series.
Dozier hit his first homer in the first inning, a solo shot. It marked his ninth career leadoff home run, according to the Pioneer Press.
His second home run came in the seventh and brought in three runs, MLB.com reports.
Eddie Rosario had two hits and two RBIs. Torii Hunter added an RBI.
