Escobar's clutch HR not enough for Twins

MINNEAPOLIS -- It wasn't easy, but the White Sox were able to rally late after giving up a go-ahead three-run homer to Eduardo Escobar in the eighth inning. Down to their last out in the ninth, Melky Cabrera connected on a game-tying RBI single to keep them alive. And after getting out of a bases loaded jam in the ninth, the White Sox were lifted by a go-ahead RBI double from Dioner Navarro in the 10th inning to beat the Twins, 6-5, on Saturday at Target Field.

Avisail Garcia sparked the 10th-inning rally for Chicago with a leadoff double off reliever Fernando Abad, who is a trade candidate for Minnesota.
