MLB: Mauer hits grand slam, drives in 6 as Twins rout White Sox 20-1


Associated Press

CHICAGO — Joe Mauer hit a grand slam, two doubles and drove in six runs as the Minnesota Twins routed the White Sox 20-1 Thursday, matching Chicago’s most-lopsided loss in team history.

Michael Cuddyer, Joe Crede and Matt Tolbert also homered as Minnesota ended a six-game losing streak and made the White Sox pine even more for Jake Peavy.
The San Diego Padres have agreed to deal their ace to the White Sox, and the teams were waiting to see whether Peavy waives his no-trade clause.
Mauer’s second career grand slam capped a six-run sixth inning. Tolbert’s first big league homer, a three-run shot in the seventh, made it 20-0.
