Twins 6, White Sox 4: Rookie Trevor May fanned a career-high 10 over six innings while Trevor Plouffe and Jordan Schafer went deep as visiting Minnesota avoided a three-game sweep against Chicago.

May (3-4) won his third consecutive start since dropping his first four big-league decisions, allowing three runs on five hits during a 93-pitch outing. Schafer scored twice and joined three other Twins with two hits apiece as Minnesota stopped the White Sox’s season high-tying four-game winning streak.

Adrian Nieto and Jose Abreu homered for Chicago, which also saw its four-game home winning streak halted – the team’s longest since eight consecutive victories at U.S. Cellular Field from Aug. 12-Sept. 3, 2012. Hector Noesi (8-10) had his three-start unbeaten streak come to an end, giving up five runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 frames.

Minnesota raced out to a two-run lead in the second with Plouffe’s lead-off blast deep into the left-field seats before Eduardo Escobar added a sacrifice fly later in the inning. Schafer doubled the advantage in the fourth when he clubbed a first-pitch low fastball for his first home run since June 23, 2013, as a member of the Atlanta Braves.

Chicago got those two runs back in the bottom half as Adam Eaton and Alexei Ramirez reached to open the frame, setting Abreu and Conor Gillaspie up for consecutive RBI singles. Kurt Suzuki plated Danny Santana with a two-out double into the gap in left-center in the seventh and added a sacrifice fly in the ninth before Glen Perkins worked around a leadoff homer to Abreu in the ninth for his 34th save.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Minnesota won the season series 10-9. … Abreu, who became only the fourth rookie in major-league history to record 30 doubles, 30 homers and 100 RBIs on Saturday, went 2-for-4 and batted .391 with four homers and 18 RBIs against the Twins this season. … Minnesota won for only the fifth time in its last 21 games.
