For the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins, the next 10 days could determine which team has the inside track to the AL Central title. The division leaders will meet six times in that span, with the first coming Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field. With 63-49 records, Chicago and Minnesota have separated themselves from the rest of the Central. The rivals have nine games remaining against each other, including three at Minnesota starting Aug. 17. This 10-day stretch could be crucial, particularly since these teams won’t meet again until mid-September in Chicago. The Twins, 17-7 since the All-Star break, are 6-3 against the White Sox this season and hit .354 in winning three of four in the teams’ most recent series from July 15-18. Minnesota had won six straight at U.S. Cellular before losing its last game there April 11.
Though the White Sox have won 10 of 15 overall and 20 of 22 at home, they concluded a 4-4 road trip by scoring 10 runs while losing three of four to league-worst Baltimore. Minnesota hopes Scott Baker can further contain the White Sox. The right-hander, 2-0 with a 2.21 ERA in his last three starts, allowed three hits and struck out seven in eight scoreless innings of a 2-1, 13-inning win at Tampa Bay on Wednesday. Minnesota has won six of Baker’s seven starts against Chicago since the start of 2008 as he’s gone 4-1 with a 4.04 ERA. He improved to 3-1 at U.S. Cellular after giving up a run in seven innings of a 2-1 win April 10 in his only start versus the White Sox this year. Chicago counters with right-hander Freddy Garcia, who is 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA in three starts against Minnesota in 2010. Garcia, 7-1 with a 3.84 ERA in his last 12 overall, allowed a run in 6 2-3 innings of a 6-4, 11-inning win at Detroit on Thursday.
