The White Sox continued their impressive May with another series win and they did it in grand fashion today against the Twins. Tommy McCraw had a career day at the plate in the blowout win. He went three for six with three homeruns and eight RBIs. Gary Peters also helped out his own cause by going three for five with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.
Peters improved to 6-1 with a really nice start that was lost in all the offense. He gave up one run on six hits and seven walks with nine strikeouts in a complete game.
Dean Chance took the loss for the Twins in a rough start. He gave up six runs on ten hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. The loss dropped him to 7-2 on the season. The lone run for the Twins came on an RBI single by Bob Allison in the third inning.
