Lucas Giolito surrendered home runs to Eddie Rosario and Byron Buxton, and the Chicago White Sox saw their winning streak end at six games Wednesday with a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Miguel Sano added a two-run homer in the eighth off reliever Matt Foster as the second-place Twins (31-20) trimmed the Sox lead in the American League Central to two games.
The Sox (32-17) had a chance to clinch their first playoff berth since 2008 with a win and losses by the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners. The Twins made sure the Sox had to wait at least one more day.
