CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox keep losing to AL Central rivals, and next up is the class of the division.
Kevin Correia pitched seven shutout innings, Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer backed him with home runs and the Minnesota Twins beat the White Sox 5-2 Sunday.
The Twins took three of four games in the series and have won nine of 12 against the White Sox this season.
The White Sox have lost 22 of their last 26 games against AL Central opponents. They begin a series against first-place Detroit on Monday.
"You can't speak for everyone, but nobody comes here every day and expects to lose. We prepare every day to win that day and when things don't work out, you try to put it away and you know you've got another one tomorrow," Chicago's Adam Dunn said.
Dunn and Conor Gillaspie hit solo home runs off Casey Fien in the ninth.
The White Sox also had another baserunning blunder. Alejandro De Aza was thrown out after trying to advance to third on Gordon Beckham's grounder to shortstop in the third inning.
"If it's in front of you, you've got to go back. It's a mistake," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura.
