White Sox 4, Twins 3: Dayan Viciedo collected three hits and two RBIs while Jose Quintana tossed six solid innings as host Chicago defeated Minnesota for the fifth straight time.

Alexei Ramirez ripped a go-ahead RBI double in the fifth inning and Marcus Semien added an RBI single. Alejandro De Aza scored twice for the White Sox, who have outscored the Twins by a 34-13 margin during the win streak.

Trevor Plouffe drove in a pair of runs and Brian Dozier had three hits and scored twice for the Twins, who have dropped six of seven.

With the game tied at 1-1, Ramirez slapped a 2-1 sinker from Mike Pelfrey (5-13) down the third-base line to plate the speedy De Aza from first base. Viciedo provided much-needed insurance with run-scoring singles in the fifth and sixth innings to up his RBI total to 54 on the season - with 14 coming against Minnesota.

Quintana (8-6) posted his first victory since defeating the Twins on Aug. 16. The 24-year-old allowed one run on eight hits before four relievers bridged the gap to Addison Reed, who retired the side in order in the ninth for his 38th save.
