Twins Jolt White Sox, 6-4, with Late Rally
Minnesota Twins starter Bert Blyleven was in fine form against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park, leading his team to a win, 6-4. Steve Howe nailed down his 6th save. The win puts Minnesota at 20-18 this season.

Had it not been for Steve Kemp, the results might have been different. In the top of the eighth inning, when the Twins were trailing 4-3, Kemp hit a 2-run single for Minnesota, giving his team the lead.

"I felt good up there," said Kemp. "I saw the ball well."
