Twins Blow Another Lead, White Sox Win 9-5

At 21 games over .500 this season, the Chicago White Sox (58-37) are on a run that if they continue to play like they have the last two months we will definitely be seeing them in the postseason. And then there are the Minnesota Twins (40-55) 18 games behind the Sox in the American League Central Division.

Yes, the Twins have their talented players in Jorge Polanco who gave Minnesota a 5-4 lead in the top of the 8th inning last night with a 2-run homer. That late lead was again squandered as relief pitching would allow five runs for a Chicago 9-5 win.
