In the fourth, Buxton scored on a throwing error by White Sox catcher Kyle Teel to make it 3-2.
Tauchman increased Chicago's lead to 4-2 with an RBI single to center in the fifth.
Minnesota erased the deficit with two runs in the sixth. Lewis led off the inning with a solo homer to left-center and Buxton made it 4-4 with a sacrifice fly to left later in the frame.
Lee put the Twins on top with an RBI single in the seventh, but the lead did not last long as Topa gave up a pair of runs in the eighth. Baldwin tied with an RBI double to center. One batter later, Tauchman belted an RBI double to center to score Baldwin and put the White Sox on top.
