 The Twins have taken four of six from the White Sox this season, including a 2-1 series win in Chicago in July. Minnesota is 9-3 in their last 12 games at Guaranteed Rate Field, scoring at least ten runs in six of the nine victories.

 The Twins have won ten of their 12 games in September, including a three-game series sweep in Cleveland over the weekend. Their 10-2 mark (.833) is the best in baseball in September, just ahead of San Diego (9-2, .818) and the White Sox (8-3, .727).

 The White Sox have won eight of their last nine games, including sweeping the Tigers in a three-game series over the weekend. Chicago is on its fourth winning streak of four or more games this season, after recording just three such runs in the last two seasons combined.

 Nelson Cruz leads the American League in home runs (16, tied with two others) and OPS (1.089) while ranking third with a career-best .331 batting average. In 13 games at Guaranteed Rate Field since joining the Twins last year, Cruz is batting .480 (24/50) with 10 homers and 29 RBI.

 Jose Abreu went 4-for-4 with two homers, seven RBI and five runs scored in Saturday's 14-0 win over the Tigers -- the first player in franchise history to have at least two home runs, five runs and five RBI in a game. He leads the majors with 48 RBI for the season.

 Dylan Cease is 2-0 with a 1.72 ERA in three home starts this year, compared to 3-2 with a 4.15 ERA in six outings on the road. He's lost his only two career starts against Minnesota -- both last year -- allowing 13 earned runs in 7.0 innings (16.71 ERA).

As the Chicago White Sox inch closer to the franchise's first postseason berth since 2008, the anticipation level in the clubhouse is growing alongside those playoff hopes.
"I mean, it's completely opposite of what we've been," Chicago reliever Jace Fry said. "I come to the ballpark and expect to win, even against the best teams in the division or the league."

White Sox try to add to division lead vs. Twins

CHICAGO (AP)  Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano each hit a two-run homer, and the Minnesota Twins denied the Chicago White Sox a chance to clinch their first playoff berth in 12 years with a 5-1 victory Wednesday night.
Eddie Rosario also went deep and Minnesota pitchers retired their final 18 batters against the AL Central leaders. Chicago, which had won six straight and nine of 10, could have secured its first postseason spot since 2008 with a win and a Mariners loss.
