Cruz leads Twins past White Sox 14-4
(MINNEAPOLIS) - Those 10 days off sure didn't hurt Nelson Cruz's swing. Cruz homered and drove in three runs on four hits in his second game back from a wrist injury, in yet another powerful performance at the plate by the 39 year old for the Twins in a 14-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Max Kepler hit a two run homer to stay one ahead of Cruz for the team lead. Starting pitcher Michael Pineda (9-5) stayed strong for seven innings, and the Twins raised their lead on Cleveland in the A.L. Central to three games. Jose Abreu, who hit a three run homer against the Twins in a Monday win, stroked a two run blast last night after Tim Anderson's RBI double, giving Chicago a 3-0 lead in the third innings. Anderson homered in the sixth inning as well, but the damage against Reynaldo Lopez (7-11) was already done. Lopez has allowed 27 homers in 26 starts this year, a career high.
