White Sox Suffer One-Run Loss at Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins withstood a fine game by Chicago shortstop Alcides Escobar at Target Field, to upend the White Sox, 8-7. Escobar went 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles. The Twins bumped their record to 38-29 with this win.

Jose Barajas had a big grand slam home run for the Twins in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Minnesota trailing 4-3 and the bases loaded, he sized up a slider from 33-year old right-handed pitcher John Lackey and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Twins on top, 7-4.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Minnesota manager Steve Shields.
