The Twins are 7-2 this month, hitting like a top-flight offense and pitching equally well. They went 15-14 in a difficult August, but it won't really matter if the Twins take their current play into the end of September and October.

The Twins improved to 24-16 Friday by sweeping the Detroit Tigers in a doubleheader. Randy Dobnak pitched five scoreless innings in the first game and the Twins' bullpen held it down in game two. Josh Donaldson hit a moonshot, Jorge Polanco went 5-for-7 on the day with a homer and a clutch RBI single, and the Twins have all-of-a-sudden won four straight games.

The Twins smashed the White Sox Wednesday and won 8-1. Josh Donaldson returned and drove in two runs on a two-out double in the second inning. Eddie Rosario, Jake Cave and Miguel Sanó homered.

The Twins beat the White Sox 3-2 Tuesday behind six strong innings from Michael Pineda, unlikely bullpen heroes, and Byron Buxton's magic. After losing six straight games, Rocco Baldelli held an impromptu team meeting after Monday's game to urge the team to move forward. The Twins' chances looked dire early again Tuesday when Eloy Jiménez ripped a two-run, first inning double into the left field gap. Those were the only runs Chicago would score all night. The Twins chipped away and benefitted from a José Abreu dropped ball at first and clutch pinch extra-base hits from Jake Cave (triple) and Luis Arráez (double). Byron Buxton kept the game in reach when he leaped and stole an Edwin Encarnación home run in centerfield. Buxton wasn't done contributing. With a tie game and two outs, Nelson Cruz stood on second in the bottom of the seventh. Buxton laced an 0-1 screamer single to left field to take the lead. Caleb Thielbar, Sergio Romo and Matt Wisler pitched scoreless frames to finish the game.

Josh Donaldson is set to return for Wednesday night's series finale against Reynaldo López. José Berríos will start for Minnesota.

The Twins lost 8-5 in a blown game Monday. Lucas Giolito started for the White Sox in front of a defense that couldn't make any plays. The Twins went up 4-0 thanks to the errors, and it looked like the 5-game losing streak may end there. Not so fast, Rich Hill lost command of his curveball in the fourth inning and the White Sox stormed back. Luis Robert homered off a Trevor May hanging slider to tie the game at 5 late before Max Kepler dropped a routine fly ball in right field. The Sox capitalized on the drop and scored three runs. Dallas Keuchel will face Michael Pineda Tuesday in game two.
