A two-run homer by Wayne Nordhagen produced the only runs as the White Sox defeated the Twins, 2-0. Nordhagen's blow in the seventh inning followed a walk to Lamar Johnson and a sacrifice. Britt Burns pitched 8 2/3 innings to get the victory and Mike Proly came on to get the final out and record his second save. The Twins' Ken Landreaux extended his hitting streak to 28 games with a fifth-inning single. [The Sporting News]
