Twins Lose to White Sox, 7-5
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins, 7-5, at Guaranteed Rate Field. Chicago designated hitter J.D. Martinez was named player of the game for his superb performance. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Chicago reliever Jacob Rhame was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Bobby Poyner took the loss. The White Sox have an impressive 24-9 record.

Had Daniel Murphy not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Murphy hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the White Sox.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Chicago manager Corey Krentsa.
