Twins go for sweep, AL Central lead
Sep 25, 2008 - 10:06 AM Chi White Sox (86-71) at Minnesota (86-72), 8:10 p.m. EDTMINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Twins are one win away from taking over first place in the American League Central.
Minnesota looks to complete a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, which would give the club sole possession of first place for the first time since August 23.
The Twins have won seven of eight meetings at the Metrodome, including a 3-2 triumph on Wednesday to pull within one-half game of the White Sox.
Kevin Slowey (12-11, 3.85 ERA) goes for the Twins, hoping to snap a personal two-game losing streak.
The righthander was roughed up for five runs over 4 1/3 innings on Saturday in Minnesota's 7-2 setback against Tampa Bay.
Trying to hang on to first place, the White Sox will counter with Gavin Floyd (16-8, 3.84), who leads the team in victories.
The 25-year-old righthander has lost two of his past three starts, including one on Saturday when he gave up five runs over 6 1/3 innings against the Kansas City Royals.
Minnesota finishes the season with a three-game series against Kansas City, while Chicago hosts the Cleveland Indians.
