Continued success against the Chicago White Sox has helped the first-place Minnesota Twins put some distance between themselves and their rival in the race for the AL Central title. Coming off a stunning walkoff victory over Chicago, Minnesota looks to increase its lead over the second-place White Sox as it goes for a sixth consecutive win Wednesday night at Target Field. Former White Sox slugger Jim Thome’s two-run homer gave Minnesota a 7-6, 10-inning victory Tuesday in the opener of this key three-game set. The Twins, four games up on the White Sox, lead the season series 9-4 and have won six of the last seven matchups. Chicago, 2-5 at Target Field in 2010, is struggling to keep up with a Minnesota club that has gone 23-8 since the All-Star break.

Chicago, which dropped two of three at home to Minnesota last week, has lost seven of nine. Thome is 12 for 31 with two homers against his former team this season after going 3 for 5 with three RBIs on Tuesday. He is 9 for 21 with four homers and 10 RBIs in his last six games. Francisco Liriano will try to beat Gavin Floyd for the second time in as many starts Wednesday. Liriano allowed a run in 5 2-3 innings of a 6-1 win at Chicago on Thursday. The left-hander has gone 5-0 with a 1.62 ERA in his last six starts, and is 2-0 with a 2.79 ERA in three games versus the White Sox this season. Floyd allowed six runs while striking out seven in 6 2-3 innings in the loss to Liriano. The right-hander had gone 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA in his previous four starts.
