CHICAGO — When the Twins dropped behind by three runs in the first inning with Cy Young Award runner-up Dylan Cease on the mound, it looked as if they were in trouble. But the Twins, who were nearly no-hit by the righthander last year, actually managed to claw their way back against him, using RBI doubles from Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton and Nick Gordon’s second home run of the year to do so.No, it was the leaky White Sox bullpen that the Twins had their problems with in a 6-4 loss to Chicago on Wednesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.With the score 4-4, the Twins loaded the bases in the seventh inning with no outs, putting themselves in a prime position to break the game open.
