Bill Mueller left his imprint on the 8-5 Minnesota win against the Chicago White Sox. Mueller, the 19th overall pick in the 1992 draft, went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The slumping White Sox have lost 14 straight.

Kirby Puckett, who finished 2nd in the AL in hits with 208 in 1990, chipped in a solo home run for Minnesota in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"We're trending in the wrong direction," said Chicago manager Mike Thompson.
