MINNEAPOLIS -- Chris Sale produced his usual strong pitching performance to help the Chicago White Sox win their fifth straight series against the Minnesota Twins. Frank Gore Nike Jersey . There were bonuses for the White Sox on this steamy afternoon, too. Sale didnt have to work very hard, never facing more than four batters in any inning, and the lagging lineup snapped to life with a season-high 21 hits. Sales seven smooth innings were supported by Adam Dunns three-run homer, and the White Sox beat the Twins 12-5 Wednesday. "Any time you go out there and get that kind of run support it kind of calms you down a little bit," said Sale, the American Leagues earned run average leader. The White Sox matched their season high with a 2 1/2 game lead in the AL Central, ahead of Cleveland. Sale (9-2) struck out five and walked one with six hits and two runs allowed. The Twins talked before the game about trying to disrupt his rhythm and make him sweat on a day when the temperature moved toward the 90s, but they were unsuccessful. "Its hard to keep saying the same things over and over again, but hes just a mature kid," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Dunn had three hits and four RBIs, including his 24th home run of the season, and recently-acquired Kevin Youkilis went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs. Alex Rios also had three hits and a homer. "Hes going to help us in so many ways," Rios said of Youkilis, who fouled off three pitches before his single right before Dunn went deep. The third, fourth and fifth hitters were 10 for 15 with eight RBIs, mostly against Twins starter Nick Blackburn (4-5). The right-hander watched his ERA balloon to 7.74 after five rough innings for the Twins, giving up nine hits and six runs. "We havent been swinging the bats well the last couple weeks so hopefully today it gets everybodys confidence back up and we start rolling again," Dunn said. Ventura gave regulars Paul Konerko, Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo a rest, but an offence that managed only 13 runs over the previous five games finally had a breakout game. Dunn ended a 0-for-24 skid with his homer, and the White Sox posted a double-digit score for the first time in 16 games. Sale pitched that one, too, June 9 against Houston. "He goes straight to what he has to do, and does it with power. Hes unbelievable," Rios said. Twins first baseman Justin Morneau, now 7 for 73 against left-handers this season with 22 strikeouts, talked his way into the lineup by telling manager Ron Gardenhire before the game he wanted "a piece of this kid," but a seventh-inning single was the only dent he put on yet another stellar performance by the lanky left-hander Sale with the whipsaw, sidearm delivery. "Hes got some funk to it, and his breaking ball, for it to be a strike it pretty much has to start behind you," Morneau said. "I think hes got a pretty good feel for that also. When he needs to get a strike with it, he can. When hes ahead in the count and he feels like he needs you to chase, hes also good at that one." Brian Dozier homered and Ben Revere tacked on a sacrifice fly, but that was the only damage done against the 23-year-old 2010 first-round draft pick. In seven starts on the road this season, Sale is 5-0 with a 2.91 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 46 1-3 innings. Those sure look like All-Star statistics. The teams are revealed Sunday. "Its something that you think about, but you try not to pay attention to it. My focus is on this team and what Im doing here. Im just trying to keep the same approach Ive had all year," Sale said. NOTES: Damon Mastroianni hit his first career home run, a two-run shot against Will Ohman in the eighth, for the Twins. Ohman was designated for assignment after the game. He hit two batters in the ninth and gave up another run. ... The Twins have lost eight of their last 10 games against the White Sox at home. ... The White Sox start a four-game series in New York on Thursday, with RHP Dylan Axelrod (0-1, 5.54 ERA) making his third start this season against Yankees RHP Ivan Nova (9-2, 4.25). ...

The 50-year-old Clemens is scheduled to pitch Saturday for the Sugar Land Skeeters against the Bridgeport Bluefish in the independent Atlantic League.As you prepare to set your lineup each week, TSN.cas NFL Editor Justin Boone breaks down some of the less obvious matchups you should capitalize on and those you should steer clear of for the weekend games. For specific lineup decisions, consult the Weekly Fantasy Player Rankings. QUARTERBACKS Exploit Tony Romo (vs. Buccaneers) - Romo started the season strong by taking advantage of a depleted Giants secondary, before being contained by a very underrated Seahawks defence last week. Now Romo goes up against a Buccaneers squad that allowed Eli Manning to throw for over 500 yards in Week 2. Andrew Luck (vs. Jaguars) - Luck was in this space last week and delivered a solid outing throwing for 224 yards and two touchdowns with no picks and even added 21 rushing yards. Luck will go up against the Jaguars who have yet to allow a passing touchdown, but that speaks more to their porous run defence than their ability to defend through the air.     Avoid Peyton Manning (vs. Texans) - Anyone who watched the first quarter of last weeks Monday-nighter saw plenty of reasons to question Manning. While Peyton did lead the Broncos back into the game, his three first-quarter interceptions were too much to overcome. Wade Phillips defence is one of the best units in the league and they will create havoc for Manning and the Broncos offence.  Tom Brady (at Ravens) - In last years AFC Championship Game, the Ravens tormented Brady holding him to 239 yards and no touchdowns, with two interceptions. After Aaron Hernandez went down to injury last week, the Patriots lost their swagger on offence and Brady struggled. The Ravens, who always seem to have Bradys number, will continue that trend. If you drafted Brady, you likely have no choice but to start him, but if you have a Robert Griffin III or Andrew Luck consider benching Brady. RUNNING BACKS Exploit Trent Richardson (vs. Bills) - Richardsons talents were on full display against the Bengals in Week 2, racking up 145 yards on 23 touches and adding two scores. The Browns may have lost the game, but fans finally got see the elite running back they hoped they were drafting in April. Richardson will be the focal point of Clevelands offence when they welcome the Bills to town this weekend. Michael Bush (vs. Rams) - Filling in for an injured starter is nothing new for Bush, who formerly backed up Darren McFadden in Oakland. With Matt Forte out of the lineup, Bush assumes the starting role and his first opponent will be a Rams rush defence that has been victimized in the first two weeks of the season. Avoid Adrian Peterson (vs. 49ers) - Peterson was held in check in Week 2 by the Colts. Thats not a good sign for a running back who now has to face the leagues most dominating run defence. The 49ers have limited their opponents to 63.5 rushing yards per game and havent allowed a run over 11 yards. Petersons recovery has been impressive, but even he cant beat this Niners front seven. Michael Turner (at Chargers) - Regardless of what trouble he has gotten himself into off the field, Turner is slowing down dramatically on it. Turner is averaging 2.6 yards per carry and looks commpletely out of place in the Falcons up-tempo passing attack. Bruce Miller Jersey. While the 49ers may be the most physically imposing defence, the Chargers are statistically the best, with only 83 total rushing yards allowed through two games. WIDE RECEIVERS Exploit Malcom Floyd (vs. Falcons) - Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal were brought in to help fill the void in the receiving corps left by Vincent Jackson. However, its been Floyd who has stepped up and become the teams number one pass catcher so far this season. The 65, 225-pound wideout has the size to give the Falcons secondary problems, much like Demaryius Thomas did this past week.  Kenny Britt (vs. Lions) - Britt had a quiet 2012 debut in Week 2, after coming back from suspension and knee injuries. In Britts defence, the team kept him on a limited snap count, which resulted in his one catch for five yards. The Titans offence has looked out of sync in their two contests, but the Lions secondary can cure those woes. Expect Britt to bust out in a big way on Sunday. Avoid Jeremy Maclin (at Cardinals) - Maclin is dealing with a hip injury and there is a chance that he may not be able to suit up this week. If he is in the lineup, his production could drop way down against a Cardinals defence that kept the Patriots passing game under control a week ago. The West is no longer the punch line of the NFC. Vincent Jackson (at Cowboys) - The Buccaneers found themselves in a shootout with the Giants and Jackson answered the call, despite coming up short in the end. Jackson had room to work against the Giants secondary, but that wont be the case in Dallas. Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne have been significant upgrades to the Cowboys coverage and they will slow down the Buccaneers passing attack this week. TIGHT ENDS Exploit Dennis Pitta (vs. Patriots) - Pitta is fifth in the NFL in targets through two weeks. With the Ravens focused on letting Joe Flacco air it out more, Pitta should continue to be a weapon downfield and could carve up the Patriots this week. Pitta is moving into full-time TE1 status and should be the first option for owners who lost Hernandez to injury. Brandon Pettigrew (at Titans) - Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman made life difficult for Pettigrew in the middle of the field last week. Pettigrew salvaged his fantasy week with a touchdown, but managed only three catches for 18 yards. The good news for Pettigrew is that his Week 3 opponent has been horrific at stopping the tight end, which will lead to a bounce-back game for him. Avoid Kyle Rudolph (vs. 49ers) - Rudolph is in the mix with Pitta and Martellus Bennett as players flirting with becoming TE1 this season. Anyone who drafted Rudolph on his potential has been rewarded with back to back games with a touchdown. The 49ers will not make it easy on him as he tries to extend that streak to three games.  Jacob Tamme (vs. Texans) - Tamme was only on the field for 35 per cent of the Broncos snaps in Week 2, as the team turned to Joel Dreessen who is a better blocker. Tamme now gets put up against the Texans menacing defenders and will likely lose snaps again. ' ' '
