(Minneapolis, MN/Minnesota News Network) — The Minnesota Twins lost a seven-inning, rain-shortened game to the Chicago White Sox yesterday 3-0 at Target Field.

Twins right-hander Chris Paddack worked five innings of five-hit ball, allowing two runs in taking the loss and dropping to 0-3 on the year. Shane Smith notched the win for the White Sox, who improved to 6-19. The 9-16 Twins will welcome the Los Angeles Angels to town tonight to embark on a three-game weekend series.
