Steve Brye, batting for the first time since breaking his left hand July 3, hit an inside-the-park homer as a pinch-batter in the seventh inning and, after going to left field, smashed a drive over the fence in the eighth for a stellar comeback in the Twins' 9-1 victory over the White Sox. Dave McKay joined in the Twins' attack by driving in three runs with two singles and an infield out. [The Sporting News]
