MINNEAPOLIS -- Chris Sale credits his offensive support for helping him settle into a good rhythm on the mound. It might actually be the other way around, with Sales dominating starts taking pressure off the Chicago White Sox hitters. Either way, its working. Sale tied a season high with 12 strikeouts in eight dominant innings, Alexei Ramirez hit his 10th homer, and the White Sox beat Minnesota 7-0 on Saturday night for their third straight win over the Twins. Sale (10-1) scattered five hits -- all singles -- and became the first White Sox starter to win 10 of his first 11 decisions in a season since Mark Buehrle in 2005. "I think this is probably the fastest Ive seen him work," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Just getting the ball, not a lot of shaking off or anything like that. He was just throwing. And he was throwing everything, too." Sale had a double-digit strikeout total for the 15th time in his career, moving him into a tie for second on the teams all-time list with Juan Pizarro. Sales 1.88 ERA is the lowest mark among qualified pitchers in the majors, and hes allowed just three earned runs in July. The White Sox, fourth in the AL Central at 51-54, are still longshots to make the playoffs. However, they have won seven of their last 10 games and can sweep the Twins in a four-game series for the first time since 2008 before travelling to first-place Detroit. "Weve got all the right pieces in all the right places," Sale said. "Its just a matter of stringing some wins together. Obviously were all very comfortable with each other and we have confidence in each other to go out there and produce and to win games." Chicago had its way against Twins starter Logan Darnell (0-1) in his first major league start. A day after being recalled to fill in for injured Kyle Gibson, Darnell allowed seven runs and 11 hits while striking out seven in five innings. "I really wasnt nervous," Darnell said. "If anything I was just trying to focus on what my plan was and I thought I stayed with it, even though it didnt really pan out the way I wanted." With the White Sox leading 2-0 in the fifth and Gordon Beckham on first, Ramirez hit his second homer in two nights when his drive off a changeup from Darnell hit off the foul pole in left field. The White Sox led off the next inning with four straight hits -- including a run-scoring double by Tyler Flowers and an RBI single by Alejandro De Aza -- to chase Darnell. "Its not really how you picture it," Darnell said of his first big-league start. Beckhams sacrifice fly to centre off Ryan Pressly scored Flowers to made it 7-0. Daniel Webb pitched a scoreless ninth for Chicago. The Twins are 2-7 since the All-Star break. "Its tough to play from behind," said Chris Colabello, who went 0 for 4. "Especially you lose a couple in row, you get behind again and all of a sudden negative thoughts went through your mind and its tough to fight those sometimes." NOTES: White Sox OF Jose Abreu singled in the ninth to push his hitting streak to 16 games. Hes hit safely in 34 of his last 35 games overall. ... Twins GM Terry Ryan said Gibson (back) should start Tuesday at Kansas City. ... Ventura sounded optimistic that OF Avisail Garcia (shoulder) would play again this season, possibly by September. "Its pretty amazing, just his recovery time and how he looks and how healthy he looks," he said. Ventura also said RHP Matt Lindstrom is expected to throw a simulated game on Tuesday at Detroit. ... Twins 1B Joe Mauer (strained oblique) took grounders during batting practice, but did not take any swings. Manager Ron Gardenhire also said RHP Ricky Nolasco (elbow) is expected to throw three or four bullpen sessions over the next week. ... White Sox RHP Scott Carroll (4-6), who is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his last three starts, makes his second career appearance against Minnesota when Chicago goes for the four-game sweep on Sunday. Minnesota sends Yohan Pino (1-3) to the mound to make his seventh start of the season. Julien Davenport Jersey .

Newton spent the previous 10 years with the Wizards, most recently serving as vice-president of player personnel. He worked closely with Saunders when Saunders was the head coach for the Wizards, and quickly became a prime candidate to make the move to Minnesota when Saunders took over this summer for the fired David Kahn. "I have followed Milt closely during his career and have always been impressed with his basketball knowledge, work ethic and professionalism," Saunders said in a statement issued by the team. "His front-office experience in the NBA, as well as his ability to combine analytics evaluation with his basketball playing and scouting background will greatly benefit our organization." Saunders will continue to have final say on all organizational issues with the Wolves. But Newton will help with scouting, salary cap management, trade talks and other personnel issues. Rob Babcock also is expected to receive a greater role in scouting and personnell decisions as Saunders works to install some infrastructure in the basketball operations department.dddddddddddd Kahn spent the last two years of his four-year stay in Minnesota without an official general manager. The lack of a defined structure beneath Kahn in the front office led to confusion and inefficiency at times, and Saunders said when he was hired that establishing a more organized staff was one of his priorities. Newton got in on the ground floor while the NBA Development League was established, something that appealed to Saunders, who takes great pride in his time as a coach and executive in the old CBA. Newton, whose wife went to high school in the Minneapolis suburb of Minnetonka, also has worked for the Philadelphia 76ers and USA Basketball. "Milt possesses an extraordinary skill set that is a great fit for the Timberwolves organization," NBA Commissioner David Stern said in a statement issued by the Wolves. "His exceptional work ethic and basketball acumen played a large role in the launch and success of the NBA Development League. I am extremely pleased for Milt and the Timberwolves who will no doubt benefit from the tremendous experience he brings to their front office."
