Chicago White Sox pitcher Zach Stewart lost his bid for a perfect game as Danny Valencia of the Minnesota Twins singled in the bottom of the 8th. Stewart would continue to finish his one hitter in a 4-0 victory that concluded the White Sox sweep over the Twins. Chicago is currently 8 games out of first place in the AL Central as the Detroit Tigers look to clinch later this month.

The Minnesota Twins traded DH Jim Thome to the Cleveland Indians this afternoon. The trade came 10 days after Thome hit his 600th home run. Thome will return to the team that drafted him 20 years ago from Illinois Central University. The 40 year old's return might help the desperate Cleveland Indians who are 6 1/2 games behind the first place  Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.
