Twins 2-12, White Sox 1-4

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota’s pitching staff has finally caught up in the strikeout era, with Jose Berrios leading the way. Berrios became the first Twins pitcher in eight years to reach 200 strikeouts, throwing seven smooth innings in a victory over Chicago in the first game of a doubleheader before Mitch Garver’s career-high six RBIs fueled a 12-4 victory for the sweep. Berrios finished his All-Star season with a career-best 3.84 ERA and 202 strikeouts. The Twins are 16th in the major leagues in strikeouts, after finishing next-to-last in 2017. From 2011 through 2015, they were last.

BALTIMORE — Gerrit Cole tuned up for the postseason by pitching six sharp innings for Houston, who got a home run from Josh Reddick in a victory over Baltimore. The Astros close out the regular season at Camden Yards this weekend after clinching the AL West title on Tuesday night. Cole gave up one run, five hits and a walk.
