White Sox 7, Twins 4: All’s well that ends well

Not that it was even much of a duel on paper, but the barely ballyhooed battle between Luis Castillo and Dean Kremer wasn't settled by the starters. Instead, other elements like bullpens, passed pitches and double plays -- specifically double plays started by the first baseman -- ended up creating the margin tonight.
