After a 6-2 win in 10 innings, Chicago&#8217;s offense kept going in Game 2. Falling behind 2-1 heading into the 5th inning, the White Sox finally broke out against Minnesota starter Mudcat Grant. Three runs on 4 hits and 2 walks in the inning, capped by a 2-run single by Floyd Robinson, put Chicago on top for good. Robinson added to the lead with a 2-run home run in the 7th. The Sox added two more runs in the 9th off reliever Johnny Klippstein. Juan Pizarro allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, including 3 solo homers, but struck out 9 to pick up the win for Chicago. Bob Allison went 3 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBI to lead the Minnesota offense. The Minnesota Twins now head to Chicago down 2-0 in the series. They&#8217;ll need to win 3 straight to avoid early elimination in the Tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB60s\/Scoresheets\/09-02-2025_CHW_MIN.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'64 White Sox @ '65 Twins - 9\/2\/25\">&#8217;64 White Sox @ &#8217;65 Twins &#8211; 9\/2\/25<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facing Jim Kaat in Game 1, it took the 1964 Chicago White Sox until the 9th inning to score their 1st runs.
