Close Win Moves White Sox to 37-45
Despite a fine performance by designated hitter Jay Bruce, the Minnesota Twins suffered a 4-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Bruce went 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times. Aaron Wilkerson got the save, his 1st in 1 chances. With the win, Chicago goes to 37-45, while the Twins fall to 37-44.

Charlie Blackmon had a big 2-run double for the White Sox in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Chicago leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Glenn Sparkman and stroked the double to center. It was his 9th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the White Sox ahead, 4-1.

"I'm not out here to win a beauty contest," said Blackmon. "Obviously."
