MLB: Chi. White Sox 6, Minnesota 2

CHICAGO, May 8 (UPI) -- Jose Uribe blasted a key two-run homer Thursday to help the Chicago White Sox rally past Minnesota 6-2.

Winner John Danks (3-3) surrendered two earned runs and six hits in five innings with two walks and five strikeouts.

Tolbert and Joe Mauer drove in one run each, with Mauer and Delmon Young both recording two hits for the Twins, who had won six of seven.

Losing pitcher Kevin Slowey (0-2) allowed three earned runs and four hits in five innings, including both homers.
