Rosario hits 18th HR, but exits with heat illness

CHICAGO -- After hitting a go-ahead two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning, Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario left the game with heat illness in the bottom of the frame after a visit by manager Paul Molitor and trainer Tony Leo in left field.

Rosario was 2-for-3 with a single in the first inning and a two-run homer as part of a four-run fifth for the Twins. But with Willson Contreras at the plate with one out, Rosario motioned for a trainer and was removed. The temperature at game time was recorded at 91 degrees, and it rose to 95 degrees with a heat index of 107.
