Only Ervin Santana (3.54) and Hector Santiago (4.93) have better numbers among Minnesota starters, although Santiagos ERA in five starts since being acquired at the trade deadline is 8.17.I dont know, Gibson said. Its been kind of frustrating ever since in Atlanta. I thought I kind of turned the corner and made an adjustment. Its been a couple times this year where I feel like Ive been on the verge of kind of figuring something out and then a big inning happens or a bad start happens.Nine times in 20 starts this season, and five of his last six, Gibson threw between 5 and 5 2/3 innings.Im not saying that Im going back to the drawing board, but its to the point where its like, `Man, Im working as hard as I can and Im not really reaping any benefits of it. Its a frustrating act to feel like you have the stuff to go deep into a game and feel like youve settled down and let it get away from you, he said.Doziers three-run homer gave the Twins a 3-1 lead in the third. It was the 33rd of the season for the second baseman, who hit 13 in August and has a majors-best 19 since the All-Star break.But Fraziers home run tied the game in the fourth and Chicago added runs in the fifth and sixth to chase Gibson, who threw 61 of his 101 pitches for strikes.Carlos Rodon (6-8) tied a season-high with seven innings pitched for his career-high fourth straight win as the White Sox ended a four-game losing streak.Rodon wasnt as sharp as his previous five outings when he was 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA, with each one a quality start. He allowed seven hits, four runs -- three earned -- and hit two batters, but was more successful later in the game, retiring eight of the final nine hitters he faced.Minnesota had just one hit in the final four innings.Leading 5-4, Jose Abreu singled up the middle on a less-than-full swing to score two runs in a three-run eighth. Eaton had an RBI single and Melky Cabrera a two-run single in the ninth.Chicago tied a season-high with 16 hits. It had 15 in Thursdays 8-5 loss.They got a lot of runs, a lot of hits.
