Twins Win, 8-3, Versus White Sox
A 5-RBI performance from the former first round draft pick Nick Kurtz helped the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox, 8-3. David Festa earned the win. Grant Taylor, who is on pace for 225 strikeouts this season, took the loss for Chicago. Pablo Lopez earned the save for Minnesota, his 3rd of the year.

In the top of the second, Kurtz had a 2-run triple for Minnesota. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Twins on top, 2-0.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Kurtz.

The second-place Twins now have a win-loss record of 65-61.
