The Twins are playing at home where they have been able to play decent, even if they are not the best home team. However, the White Sox have struggled quite a bit on the road, but still are competitive and a lot more surprising than what they have been expected to be this year. The difference is Pineda is a better pitcher and is able to keep the ball down in this game compared to Lopez who has given up the long ball quite a bit this year. Final Score, Minnesota Twins win 6-3.
