Twins Move Closer to A.L. Central, Pound White Sox, 7-0
Led by seven strong innings from starter Nick Blackburn, the Twins took an easy 7-0 victory over the White Sox Monday night.
The Twins are now just 2.5 games back from the Tigers in the A.L. Central.
Orlando Cabrera led the offense with two hits, two RBIs and three runs scored. Matt Tolbert and Nick Punto also had two hits apiece.
There was a scary moment for Minnesota, however, when outfielder Denard Span took a fastball off the back of his head in the sixth inning. He was down for a few moments, but was able to walk off the field under his own power.
The series will continue Tuesday at 8:11 EST with John Danks going against Jeff Manship.
