CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have struggled against their AL Central foes, especially the Minnesota Twins. They caught a break from their losing ways on Saturday. Conor Gillaspie lined a go-ahead single in the sixth inning and the White Sox rallied to beat the Twins 5-4. Jordan Danks homered and rookie Andre Rienzo pitched 5 1-3 innings in his home debut as the White Sox snapped a five-game losing streak against the Twins. The White Sox and closer Addison Reed withstood a final drive by Oswaldo Arcia that left fielder Alejandro De Aza caught at the wall for the final out. "I thought about crying. If that ball had gone over, I would have," White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham said. The White Sox have won just three of their 11 games against Minnesota this season and will try to split the four-game series Sunday. Chicago is 13-33 against the AL Central. "A win is a win. It doesnt matter how you do it," Reed said. "Hopefully, it gets a little spark in us and starts a little winning streak." Justin Morneau and Arcia homered for the Twins. David Purcey (1-1) struck out two in an inning for the win. Reed earned his 28th save in 33 chances. Mike Pelfrey (4-10) allowed five runs, four earned, in five-plus innings. He walked five, struck out two and hasnt won a start since July 6. "This is by far the worst season of my career," Pelfrey said. "It started off brutal, and I thought I was getting better for two months, but these last three starts have seemed as (bad) as the first two months." Gillaspie put the White Sox ahead 5-4 in the sixth on an RBI single off reliever Anthony Swarzak. The White Sox had tied it on Blake Tekottes sacrifice fly after Avisail Garcia led off with a single for his first White Sox hit, Danks drew a walk and Josh Phegley sacrificed them over. Garcia went 1 for 4 in his first White Sox start. Chicago acquired him on July 30 from the Detroit Tigers in a three-team trade that sent right-hander Jake Peavy to the Boston Red Sox. Garcia was called up Friday from Triple-A Charlotte after outfielder Alex Rios was traded to the Texas Rangers. "I was a little tired yesterday, but I feel great today," Garcia said. "Bad day, I got a base hit, but just got to keep playing and see what happens." The White Sox went ahead 1-0 in the first inning on Paul Konerkos sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. Danks hit a leadoff home run in the second inning for a 2-0 lead. The homer was his second of the season and first since May 6. The White Sox added another run in the inning when right fielder Chris Colabello missed a catch on Gillaspies fly ball for an error, allowing Beckham to score from first base. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was unhappy the game started at 3 p.m., leading to shadows that caused trouble for outfielders. "These 3 oclock games, for sightlines, are absolutely terrible," Gardenhire said. "The shadows are brutal for both teams. It was a real tough day for both teams once those shadows came in. Its really, really hard to see the ball. "They really need to fix that part of the game. Play 1 oclock games or 6 oclock or 7 oclock games or get away from the shadows. It was really tough out there, and that was both sides." Morneau tied the game in the third inning on a three-run homer. He also hit two home runs, including a grand slam, in Game 1 of Fridays doubleheader against the White Sox. Rienzo allowed a solo home run to Arcia to put the Twins ahead 4-3. Arcia also hit a home run in each game of Fridays doubleheader and slugged the winning homer in the second game. Rienzo allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings in his third major league start. He walked five and struck out five. "We had two games last night, and I tried to be out there for a long time on the mound to help out the bullpen," Rienzo said. "I battle as hard as I can, but unfortunately my control today wasnt that good. But Im glad the team won." Rienzo had a visitor waiting for him. His brother surprised him by arriving from Brazil. "I want to be better because my family is here," he said. "Next time." Beckham finished with four walks batting leadoff for the second time this season and fifth time in his career. "I was joking, I dont know if Ive had four walks in a week," he said. "It was different. I dont mind it." NOTES: LF Dayan Viciedo was scratched from Chicagos lineup because of a sore left thumb. Tekotte replaced Viciedo in left field and batted ninth. .Josh Willingham remained the DH in the Twins lineup Saturday after he was activated from the disabled list on Friday following knee surgery. Gardenhire said theres no issue with Willingham playing the field. "Getting swings right now is more important and running the bases," Gardenhire said. "Hes already played the outfield down (in the minors), so Im not worried about that." Nike Epic React Flyknit 2018 .

But this series is far from over. The Heat have lost their last three road games and have to get their act together or theyll be handing the Larry OBrien Trophy over to the Spurs. Here are four quick keys for the Heat to get back on track and get a W on Thursday night in Game 4 to make this a best-of-three series and gain back home court advantage. 1. THREE POINT DEFENCE: Needless to say, Gary Neal and Danny Green lit them up on home run balls. That has to stop. The Heat must chase those guys off the line, fight through screens and locate them at all times. The Spurs have used the three effectively and it has to be a greater point of emphasis for the Heat to challenge all shots. No clean looks. Transition D has been lousy - sprint back, locate shooters, close out and contest. 2. REBOUNDING: The Heat have had their challenges at times this season, winning the board battles. They must be more physical with Tiago Splitter and Tim Duncan and win some 50/50 loose ball battles. Effort, and more importantly, multiple efforts must be there on each and every possession. How bad do you want it? 3. LEBRON JAMES: The Spurs have done a terrific job (particularly Kawhi Leonard) in making LeBron a volume shooter and limiting his good looks.dddddddddddd The Heat need to manufacture some quick hitting scoring chances for LeBron early in the game on Thursday and get him going. Set plays off of interior screens for post-ups, get him in pick and rolls as a receiver and run some screen action for him. Obviously, in transition he needs to be assertive and attack. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade havent played to their potential. That hurts. You get LeBron going and gradually things will open up for others. 4. BACKS TO THE WALL: The moment of truth is at hand. Theyve responded before and that should give them great confidence. Attention to detail and willingness to pay the price to win all the mini-battles within the game has to be there. Feed off the road crowd and shut them up. Come together and have each others backs – no finger pointing. This is the moment to cherish and enjoy. Its far from easy to win a championship. Pass the test and rise to the challenge. If Im the Heat players and coaches, I cant wait to get to the gym tomorrow to lace em up and show what Im all about. Yes, lots of it is finding ways to psyche yourself up. Shouldnt need lots to do that. All you need to do is look at how embarrassing the Game 3 final result was and vow that its time to play Heat basketball. Bring it on... I cant wait. It should be fun. ' ' '
