The White Sox may have fallen out of the race but Jake Peavy got it done and he could be a bright spot in the rotation next year.  He improved to 7-7 and he gave up four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in 6 1/3 shutout innings.  Sergio Santos struck out two in the ninth and he picked up his 29th save of the season.

Alex Rios hit his ninth home run of the season, a solo shot in the fourth inning.  Adam Dunn didn’t get a hit but he walked three times and scored a run.  Alejandro De Aza went two for three with a run and an RBI.

The win kept the White Sox at 71-69 on the season.  It’s almost kind of sad what the Twins have become.  They’re the worst team in the American League but this is a team that’s been decimated by injuries.  Still, they’re a team you like to see on the schedule when your team starts to struggle.
