It’s over! It’s over!
No, not the season, unfortunately. Just the eight-game losing streak. But that will have to do for now.
A 4-3 victory over the Twins came thanks to surprise production from a 30-year-old playing his third game with the White Sox and 35th in the majors, and two completely boneheaded defensive plays by Minnesota.
The newbie, Mark Payton, was in the middle of all the offensive action. Who knew you could get offense from someone who is an actual outfielder? And who, apparently, cares about baseball?
The Twins took an early lead on four hits and two runs off of Lucas Giolito in the first.
