Alvarez Slugs Twins to 8-3 Win
The home crowd had a good time watching the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins get after it.

The Minnesota Twins powered past the Chicago White Sox, 8-3, at Target Field. Alex Alvarez provided some of the pop. He was 3-4 with 2 home runs, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 4 runs and driving in 2. After today's action, Minnesota sits at 57-62, while Chicago falls to 38-79.

David McNeal had a big bases-clearing double for the Twins in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Minnesota leading 3-2 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from Ed Miranda, who finished 5th in the AL in innings pitched with 206.1 in 2038, and swatted a double to left. It was his 34th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 6-2.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Alvarez. "Those qualities define our team."
