Sept 3 (Reuters) – A return home helped the Chicago White
Sox regain both their form and division lead with a 4-2 victory
over the Minnesota Twins on Monday.
The White Sox brought a four-game losing streak to U.S.
Cellular Field but quickly found their comfort zone, aided by
Gordon Beckham’s three RBIs and a solid outing from Hector
Santiago, making the first start of his career.
Santiago, who usually comes out of the bullpen, struck out
six batters and allowed just one run in five innings.
Beckham hit a two-run blast in the second inning to give
Chicago a 2-0 lead, then added an RBI single in the eighth after
the Twins (55-80) pulled within a run.
The victory allowed the White Sox (73-61) to nudge one game
ahead of Detroit atop the American League Central division.
