TWINS 5, WHITE SOX 3
Jose Berrios pitched into the eighth inning to win his second straight start, Mitch Garver hit a go-ahead double and Minnesota increased its lead to five games in the AL Central.
Seeking their first division title since 2010, the Twins (92-58) are assured of their best record since finishing 94-68 nine years ago.
Berrios (13-8) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 1/3 innings with eight strikeouts and two walks. He was rewarded with a standing ovation when he was removed.
Tyler Duffey finished the eighth, Sergio Romo allowed Eloy Jimenez’s homer leading off the ninth before getting an out, and Taylor Rogers needed just eight pitches to finish a six-hitter for his 27th save in 33 chances.
White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez (9-14) gave up five runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.
