MINNEAPOLIS - Joe Mauer's two-out single snapped a seventh-inning tie, and Nick Blackburn and Minnesota hung on for the win over Chicago.
Blackburn (8-4) went seven innings, but wasn't at his best. Matt Guerrier and Joe Nathan were, with a perfect eighth and ninth to preserve an important win for Minnesota and notch Nathan's 23d save.
The Twins took a 4-0 lead against Chicago starter John Danks in the first inning, but let the White Sox come back to tie it as former Minnesota catcher A.J. Pierzynski had three hits.
