White Sox Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Twins
The White Sox had to overcome a fine performance from Minnesota pitcher Nick Pivetta to grab a 3-2 win at Guaranteed Rate Field. Pivetta allowed 2 earned runs over 6 innings. Trevor Gott earned his 4th save in 6 chances. Minnesota's current losing streak has reached 5 games.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Justin Turner came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Minnesota pitcher Victor Arano, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring double. It was a game-changer, putting Chicago on top, 3-2.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Turner.
