Chicago at Minnesota

Chicago goes for its third straight win after defeating the Twins 6-5 on Monday when they banged out 12 hits and won a bullpen game. Minnesota has packed it in for the season and lost its 12th in 17 games. The Twins' pitching has been horrendous, and they have allowed 70 runs in 10 games. The White Sox have won four of five meetings and Minnesota has lost six of eight divisional games. Davis Martin has allowed nine runs (eight earned) in his past four outings in 19 2/3 innings pitched. He has faced the Twins twice this year and given up two earned runs in 10 innings. Simeon Woods Richardson has allowed 11 runs his past 11 1/3 innings, including a 9-8 loss to Toronto when he was touched for five runs in 3 2/3 innings in a 9-8 loss on Wednesday. Take the White Sox.
