TWINS UPDATE

They are 27-29 at Target Field, but 4-2 at home vs. the White Sox. They are 9-3 overall against Chicago this year, and their next victory will clinch the season series for the first time since 2010. … They have hit 21 home runs against White Sox pitching, more than against any other opponent. … They are 41-21 when they score four or more runs, but just 12-44 when they don't. … Jared Burton has not allowed a run since July 4, a span of 16⅓ innings that is the fifth longest active streak in the American League. … Albers has not given up a run in 17⅓ career innings, just seven outs shy of the franchise record for the start of a pitcher's career. Caleb Thielbar pitched 19⅔ scoreless innings to start his career earlier this season.

WHITE SOX UPDATE

They rebounded from losing three of four to the Twins last weekend by taking two of three from the first-place Tigers, though they lost the series finale Wednesday 6-4.
