Twins Slap 4-2 Loss on White Sox
Minnesota Twins starter Chris Sale was in a rhythm all game. He led his team to a win over the Chicago White Sox, 4-2. Sale got the win, improving to 8-6. He allowed 5 hits and walked 1 over 5.2 innings. Sale allowed no runs. Jhoan Duran earned his 25th save in 29 tries.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Royce Lewis to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Chicago manager Sid Hamlin said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.

The American League Central Division-leading Twins are 53-40.
