Twins Struggle Against Sox
After jumping out and capturing the first game of the series against the White Sox, the Twins dropped the last two, and the series against Chicago. The White Sox won the series finale Sunday with a 6 -1 over the now struggling Twins. Jim Thome homered in the 6th inning to make it 3 - 1 and the Twins couldn't rally from there. Nick Blackburn pitched decently but couldn't get any run support early on. The first run scored by the Sox was unearned and caused by a throwing error from Michael Cuddyer. The Twins blew out the White Sox on the series opener Friday night, scoring 12 runs and commanding the game. After that the Twins scored just one run in the next 18 innings, a number that wont win you a lot of games. The Twins did show a sign of life late in the game Sunday. They loaded the bases with no one out in the ninth inning. Closer Bobby Jenks then entered the game and ended the threat with a strikeout followed by a double play. The Twins now head home for what they hope to be a good homestand.
