Minnesota got a terrific performance from pitcher Chris Stratton, but it wasn't enough to beat the Chicago White Sox. Chicago won the Target Field contest, 2-1. Stratton threw 7 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Addison Reed earned the save for Chicago, his 14th. The win puts Chicago at 26-26 this season.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for A.J. Simcox, the 25-year old third baseman . Simcox contributed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Chicago up, 2-1.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Simcox said.
