The White Sox (45-32) used the old “hey, look...there’s a cloud” story yesterday, perhaps to give José Abreu’s ankle a day of rest or maybe to hope the visitors cool off. Perhaps, they were hoping that being in the big city with a night off, Twins (33-43) players would all have big a night out and massive hangovers today. The White Sox are hard-pressed to use the same excuse not to play tonight, even though there’s a much higher likelihood of rain.
The Twins have won seven of nine, and the White Sox have lost seven of nine.
