Minnesota Twins 4
Chicago White Sox 10
The Minnesota Twins may have shaken up their roster on Friday, but the end result didn’t change. They fell to the Chicago White Sox 10-4 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
1. Nolasco gets knocked around
Twins starter Ricky Nolasco (1-1) struggled, giving up seven runs, five earned on nine hits in five innings.
Nolasco is exactly the same pitcher. Sorry to be negative, but the Twins need 2-3 starters where you know it will be quality most games.

2. Miggy returning to form
White Sox left fielder Melky Cabrera appears to be returning to form. He had another big game, finishing the night 4-5 with a double and three RBIs. He has had a lot of success against Nolasco and that continued Friday night.
The White Sox have 6 players in the lineup batting .333 or better against Ricky Nolasco. Melky Cabrera is one of them (.409). 2-run double.

Cabrera is now hitting .315 on the season and has posted an .805 OPS.
3. Arcia plays long ball
Twins outfielder Oswaldo Arcia hit his fourth home run of the season, Friday night. Arcia was 1-2 on the night, he’s now hitting .281 on the year.
Oswaldo Arcia's fourth HR of the season — and second to the opposite field — score Park ahead of him and pulls Twins within 5-3.
