Tommy Milone tossed seven shutout innings and the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 3-0 Wednesday night at Target Field.
It was one of Milone’s (7-4) best starts of the season. He held the White Sox to three hits, while striking out seven without a walk. Trevor May cruised through the eighth inning and Kevin Jepsen picked up his 10th save by throwing a perfect ninth.
Milone, May and Jepsen combined to retire the White Sox in order in six of the nine innings Wednesday night.
The Twins have won 10 of 12. Wrapping up the homestand tomorrow before a big-time road trip HOU✈️KC✈️CHI. Gonna be a fun one!!

Miguel Sano did it again, crushing a majestic looking home run to center to lead off the second inning – his second in as many nights and his 15th of the season.
The score remained 1-0 until the bottom of the seventh when Trevor Plouffe hit a bases loaded double to give the Twins a three-run lead.
Plouffe finished 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs on the night, while Kurt Suzuki also was 2-for-3 with a run scored.
The #MNTwins are 8-1 against the White Sox at Target Field this season.
Time for a #TwinsDanceParty!
