The White Sox did all they could for the Twins, even a failed rally against Verlander in the eighth after being shut-out until that moment. Leyland didn't make the same mistake again, and put in the closer to finish things off.
The Twins did what they had to do, though yet again a Twins starter didn't make it out of the sixth inning. The bullpen was flawless though, and the Twins cruised to an easy victory, with two Twins hitting multiple homeruns. Cuddyer continued his heroics, but it was Delmon Young who hit two solo shots, and Jason Kubel with two three-run taters, providing the winning runs before the fourth inning. Everything after that was just gravy, and making sure Joe Nathan got two days off before the big game on Tuesday.
It's incredible that the Twins will play 163 games two years in a row. This time though, a coin flip didn't screw the Twins out of the home field advantage they deserve. They clobbered the Tigers in the season series, and they're going to clobber them again in a couple days.
