Twins Suffer 5-1 Setback
Minnesota got a decent performance from pitcher Jon Meger, but it wasn't enough to beat the Chicago White Sox. Chicago won the U.S. Cellular Field contest, 5-1. Meger threw 7.1 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Chicago pitcher Jeffrey Baker got the win, upping his record to 3-0. Jon Meger got the loss. Chicago is now 64-57, Minnesota 64-56.

The Twins had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the White Sox going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old left fielder John Kofoid came to the plate. Kofoid hit a 3-run home run on a first pitch slider from Minnesota hurler Jon Meger. It was Kofoid's 7th home run of the year.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Chicago skipper Bryce Reigns. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
