Knocked down by the first pitch, Mike Andrews dug in on the next delivery by Jim Perry and smashed a three-run homer in the fifth inning to lead the White Sox to a 7-5 victory over the Twins. Perry failed for the seventh straight time in a bid for his 13th victory. The Twins' ace had six defeats and one no-decision since winning last on June 30. [The Sporting News]
