Twins Drop White Sox, 7-5
The Minnesota Twins withstood an impressive performance by Chicago center fielder Hector Martinez to defeat the White Sox, 7-5, at Target Field. Martinez was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. Matt Kretzschmar collected his 10th save. The loss makes Chicago 67-50.

Juan Olivas had a big 3-run home run for the Twins in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Minnesota leading 4-1 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a curveball from Clint Brannon, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a 1.11 WHIP, and swatted a home run to center. It was his 10th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 7-1.

"It's always extra special to win at home," said Olivas.
