Twins Win!
Down 6 to 1 in the fourth inning, the Minnesota Twins rallied to defeat the Chicago White Sox, 7 to 6 in 10 innings. The Twins are now in first place by one half game.

2. Awesome win!! I have a question about the playoff selection
Let's say both the Twins and the ChiSox win each of their games this weekend. The Twins would end their season with a 90-72 record while the ChiSox will have a 89-72 record. Do the Twins win the Division or do the White Sox have the grounds to demand that the make-up for a previous rain out be played so that they can potentially pull even with the Twins? Would there be a head-to-head one game playoff? Anybody know?

3. Nevermind, I found the answer myself
From MLB.com:

That half-game difference between the teams could force Chicago to make up a Sept. 13 rained-out game against Detroit.

If the White Sox and Twins are within a half-game of one another following Sunday's games, the Tigers would play the White Sox on Sept. 29 at U.S. Cellular Field. Following that game, if Chicago and Minnesota are tied, the two teams would play a one-game tiebreaker on Sept. 30 at U.S. Cellular Field for the division crown.
