KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - From rock bottom last season to contention this year? The Chicago White Sox see no reason why it can't happen.
They're ready to put last season's 99-loss wreck behind them and make a jump at least back to respectability, if not a run at the AL Central title.
They see a team with solid pitching, a new slugger in Jose Abreu and renewed vigor. Now, all they have to do is back it up.
''You have to pitch, you have to hit, you have to score,'' said manager Robin Ventura, entering his third season. ''You have to play defense. You have to do all of them in our division. Detroit has won it the last few years. They have a combination of everything. Unless you do that, you're not going to be close. We proved that last year.''
They had the pitching part down last season. The rest? Well, that's where things got dicey.
MINNESOTA: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The number is staggering. In the past three years, the Minnesota Twins have lost 291 games. Ninety-nine in 2011. Ninety-six each of the last two seasons.
A team that was once viewed as a model for succeeding and competing with modest financial resources has been an afterthought for too long now. They have finished last in the AL Central twice and were fourth last season.
So the Twins shed their frugal ways in the offseason, shelling out $73 million to bring in Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes to bolster a lagging rotation. They also brought back manager Ron Gardenhire on a two-year deal and moved Joe Mauer from catcher to first base in an effort to protect their franchise player from injury.
''They made a statement: `We don't want to see this again. We don't want to go through this again this summer,''' Gardenhire said.
The Twins said goodbye to longtime first baseman Justin Morneau late last season when general manager Terry Ryan traded him to the Pirates in a stretch-run deal. There weren't many other changes to an offense that has struggled to score runs, but the upgrades to the rotation have given the holdovers some peace of mind that they won't have to score seven runs a game to have a chance to win.
''It's night and day to be honest with you. Terry went out and spent some money on some good arms in Nolasco and Hughes,'' second baseman Brian Dozier said. ''Hughes had a bad year last year but is an All-Star pitcher and I think moving to this park will help him a lot. I think just getting out of New York to be honest with you. ... So we needed to address our pitching staff and Terry did that, and I'm happy about it.''

*White Sox-Twins Preview* =========================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Chicago (48-53) at Minnesota (45-54), 8:10 p.m. EDT

The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox have boasted two of baseball's better offenses for most of the season, but they find themselves struggling to score.

They'll try to break out Thursday night at Target Field in the opener of a four-game series.

Minnesota (46-54) took two of three from visiting Cleveland this week after dropping eight of 10 at home. Oswaldo Arcia homered in a 3-1 win Wednesday, but the Twins - averaging 4.2 runs - have scored 15 times over the last six games while going 6 for 46 (.130) with runners in scoring position.

The White Sox (48-54) have also averaged 4.2 runs but are batting .179 with runners in scoring position during a 4-7 stretch. Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 13 games Wednesday with his 23rd double, but Chicago managed one run for the second straight contest in a 2-1 loss to Kansas City.

Twins starters have also endured tough times recently, posting a 6.60 ERA over eight games before Anthony Swarzak threw five innings of one-run ball in a spot start Wednesday in place of Kyle Gibson.

They hope Phil Hughes (10-6, 4.06 ERA) can provide a strong performance as well, though he's 3-3 with a 6.34 ERA over his last six starts. That stretch began with a 6-5 win over Chicago on June 22 despite Hughes giving up five runs in five innings.

The right-hander owned a 1.34 ERA against the White Sox before being charged with four runs over five innings while not receiving a decision in a 10-9 win in Chicago on April 3.

Hughes gave up five runs and a career worst-matching 11 hits over seven innings in a 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

The White Sox counter with Hector Noesi (4-7, 5.21), who yielded four runs over seven innings without a decision in a 5-4 loss at Minnesota on June 20.

He's won two of his last three starts, including 4-3 over Houston on Saturday when he allowed three runs in six innings.

"I'm getting prepared for the second half to be tough," Noesi said. "So, I'm more aggressive when I go to the mound."

Kendrys Morales is 3 for 7 with two homers off the right-hander, while Kurt Suzuki is 16 for 32 over his last eight games against Chicago.

Twins closer Glen Perkins has held opponents scoreless in eight straight appearances, but two of his three blown saves have come against the White Sox. He owns a 9.00 ERA against them compared to a 1.98 mark versus all other teams.

Dayan Viciedo was scratched from Chicago's lineup Wednesday due to a tight left hamstring. He had been hitting .111 with 16 strikeouts over his previous 11 games.

Minnesota lost two of three at Chicago to open the season but swept a four-game set at Target Field from June 19-22. Abreu drove in nine runs in the seven meetings.

A sixth straight victory in the series would mark the Twins' longest winning streak against the White Sox since taking nine straight meetings Sept. 14, 2010-July 8, 2011.
