CHICAGO -- The Minnesota Twins werent making much contact. Cleveland Indians Jerseys . They were making it count, though. Oswaldo Arcia homered leading off the 10th inning, and Minnesota beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 to complete the day-night doubleheader sweep on Friday. Josh Willingham and Chris Hermann also went deep in the game, and the Twins hit a combined seven homers on the day on the way to the sweep even though they struck out 25 times. "You dont win too many ballgames when you strike out (24) times," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The ball flies here. We put some good swings out there, got enough runs. The bullpen did a great job. Starters did a great job for us." Brian Duensing (6-1) struck out the lone batter he faced in the opener and then worked a scoreless ninth to become the first pitcher to win both games of a doubleheader since the Yankees Luis Vizcaino on July 21, 2007, according to STATS LLC. He also is the first in franchise history to win two games on the same day since Walter Johnson in 1923, according to information provided to the team by the Elias Sports Bureau. "I was kind of in the right place at the right time," Duensing said. "I think all of our pitchers threw the ball really well today." All that came after the White Sox made a big move before the opener, trading Alex Rios to Texas. Then, Justin Morneau hit a grand slam and solo homer to lift the Twins to a 7-5 win in the early game. In the second game, Minnesota was trailing 2-1 heading into the eighth when Willingham greeted reliever Matt Lindstrom with a leadoff homer. Arcia, who homered in the first game, put the Twins ahead when he drove a 1-0 pitch from Dylan Axelrod (4-9) well beyond the centre-field wall leading off the 10th. Glen Perkins hit Avisail Garcia leading off the bottom half, but he ended it by retiring Alexei Ramirez on a fly to right with a runner on third for his 28th save in 31 chances. That gave the White Sox 12 losses in 15 games and wiped out whatever momentum they built by sweeping the New York Yankees. Hermann homered off Charlie Leesman in the fourth to give the Twins a 1-0 lead, but Chicagos Alexei Ramirez tied it with a solo drive in the bottom half against Liam Hendriks. That came hours after he hit a two-run shot, ending a home run drought that dated to April 3 and spanned 451 at-bats. The White Soxs Blake Tekotte made it 2-1 in the sixth with his first career homer, after being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte earlier in the day. Leesman dodged several tight spots in his major league debut but left to a nice ovation after he walked Chris Colabello leading off the sixth. He allowed one run and four hits, and was headed back to Triple-A after having his contract purchased earlier in the day. Hendriks lasted 6 1-3 innings and gave up two runs and seven hits before heading back to Triple-A Rochester. Caleb Thielbar came in with runners on first and third and struck out Garcia -- the promising outfielder who arrived late after being called up following the Rios trade --batting for Tekotte. "That situation called for him being put in the game," manager Robin Ventura said. "We didnt really hesitate. He was there for awhile." Clete Thomas made a nice running catch on Alejandro De Azas fly to centre to end the threat, and White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham saved a run with a diving stop against a pinch-hitting Joe Mauer with two on and two out in the eighth. In the first game, the White Sox were in line for their fourth straight win before Morneau mucked it up. His grand slam off reliever Nate Jones with two out in the seventh wiped out a 3-1 deficit. He added a solo drive in the ninth off Ramon Troncoso, making it 7-3. Perkins gave up a two-run single to Ramirez in the bottom half before striking out Adam Dunn to end the game. Colabello and Oswaldo Arcia also went deep for Minnesota and the Twins came away with the win after dropping two of three at Kansas City. Chicagos Paul Konerko tied Cal Ripken Jr. with his 431st home run. Ramirez made it 3-1 with a two-run drive in the fifth, and the White Sox fell after sweeping three from the New York Yankees. John Danks was in line for his first win since July 2, but the bullpen couldnt hold it for him. He left after walking Clete Thomas and Pedro Florimon to start the seventh. Matt Lindstrom struck out Brian Dozier before Donnie Veal (1-3) walked Joe Mauer to load the bases. Then, after Jones struck out Josh Willingham, Morneau drove a 1-2 pitch out to right. The grand slam was the seventh of his career and his first since July 20, 2009, at Oakland. Gibson lasted 5 2-3 innings for Minnesota and allowed three runs and four hits, including the drives by Konerko and Ramirez. He struck out four and walked four. Duensing (5-1) struck out Tekotte to end the sixth. NOTES: Ramirez had gone 451 at-bats without a homer before he connected in Game 1. ... Dayan Viciedo was the DH for Game 2 after being scratched from the lineup as the left fielder from Game 1 because of discomfort in his left thumb. He also missed Tuesdays game against the Yankees after jamming the thumb the previous day. ... The Twins placed C Ryan Doumit on the seven-day disabled list because of a concussion and activated Willingham (torn meniscus, left knee) from the 15-day DL. ... RHP Mike Pelfrey (4-9, 5.23 ERA) starts Saturday for Minnesota, with RHP Andre Rienzo (0-0, 1.38) pitching for the White Sox. Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey .

BOSTON -- When the New York Yankees last visited Fenway Park in early August, they were bidding farewell to Alex Rodriguez and their playoffs hopes appeared slim to none.One month later, a youth movement has brought them within four games of the American League East-leading Boston Red Sox and into another late-season showdown with their bitter rival.Boston hosts New York in the opener of a four-game weekend set Thursday night.I probably wouldve said this is where we should be, said New York manager Joe Girardi, who was touting his teams playoff chances even when they trailed by 6 1/2 games in the AL East on the last day of their August trip to Boston.I think we were extremely frustrated with where we were as of July 31, and I told you I expected this club to continue to compete at a high level and win, and thats what theyve done.New York (77-68) has gone 19-12 since taking the rubber match of their three-game set at Fenway Park on Aug. 11, and the Yankees are only two games out of the second AL wild-card spot.Theyve gone through about as much turnover as probably anyone, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Theyve got good quality young players that theyve been able to turn to that have certainly injected a lot of life into that club.Gary Sanchez has been at the forefront of the Yankees comeback. The 23-year-old hit his first career homer during the August series at Fenway and has launched 13 more since.New York and Boston have played their fair share of meaningful autumn games at Fenway over the years, but this series represents a new chapter in the rivalry.Still, Girardi doesnt anticipate too many hiccups from his youngsters.It could be interesting, Girardi said. Everything so far theyve handled. Are therre some tricky things in that ballpark? Yes, but that can affect anyone, so if something happens, Im not going to be surprised. Francisco Lindor Jersey. But my expectation is theyll handle it well.As well as they have played of late, the Yankees are limping into Boston after dropping three of their past four games, including a 2-0 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.Fortunately for them, the Red Sox (81-64) havent been playing their best baseball either. Boston routed the Baltimore Orioles 12-2 in the opener of a three-game set Monday, but fell 6-3 Tuesday and were blanked 1-0 in the rubber game Wednesday.The Red Sox turn to young southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez (2-7, 4.70 ERA) in Thursdays opener.Rodriguez has been outstanding in limited action against the Yankees this season, going 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts against them.He faced them in the Aug. 11 contest and gave up a run on three hits and a walk while striking out six in a seven-inning no-decision.Rodriguez is 4-1 with a 1.88 ERA in six career starts against New York.Jacoby Ellsbury is batting .294 (5-for-17) with two solo homers off Rodriguez, and Didi Gregorius has hit .353 (6-for-17) with an RBI against him.Masahiro Tanaka (13-4, 3.04 ERA) counters Rodriguez for the Yankees. He has pitched well in two starts against Boston this season, going 1-0 with a 2.13 ERA.Tanaka is 5-2 with a 4.42 ERA in nine career starts against the Red Sox.David Ortiz (5-for-21, .238) and Xander Bogaerts (6-for-25, .240) each have one homer and three RBI off Tanaka.
