Coming off a three-game sweep of Cleveland, the Twins will try to snap their five-game losing streak against the first-place White Sox on Monday night at Target Field.

It'll be a battle of rookies, as Cole De Vries pitches for the Twins, and Jose Quintana for the White Sox.

Of course, much of our attention will be focused toward Tuesday's game, when Francisco Liriano is scheduled to face the Twins. Jason Gonzalez is out here helping with our coverage.
