Twins close out home slate vs. White Sox

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - The Minnesota Twins will put an end to what has been a disappointing season at the Metrodome as they play their final home game of the season when they host the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

The Twins, who were a major league-best 54-27 at the Metrodome last season, need to win this game just to finish above .500 (40-40) at home.

To get that win, Minnesota will turn to rookie Kevin Slowey (3-0, 5.00 ERA), who will look to end to snap a three-start string of no-decisions. He allowed one run and four hits with a career-high seven strikeouts over six innings in a 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday.

It was the sixth time in his nine starts he did not receive a decision. In his only other appearance against Chicago on September 8, the 23-year-old righthander allowed one run and three hits over 2 2/3 innings of relief.

The White Sox will counter with Gavin Floyd (1-4, 5.65), who will look to win for the first time since August 8. In Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals, he permitted three runs and nine hits.

The righthander made his lone career start against the Twins on July 6, surrendering six runs over 5 2/3 innings in a 12-0 setback.
