Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Luke Hughes capped a six-run uprising in the fourth inning with a three-run homer, boosting Minnesota to an 8-5 comeback win over Chicago, giving the Twins their ninth straight victory over the White Sox.

Nick Blackburn (7-6) allowed five first-inning runs and 10 total hits, but lasted five innings to get the victory and snap a three-start winless streak. Matt Capps retired the side in order in the ninth for his 14th save.

Rene Tosoni singled in two runs during the fourth inning, as the Twins won for the fifth time in six games.

Gavin Floyd (6-9) was charged with nine hits and seven runs over 3 2/3 innings and fell to 0-4 over his last six starts. He's lost his last seven decisions when facing the Twins.

Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer for the White Sox, losers of four straight.

Michael Cuddyer singled in Joe Mauer in the top of the first, but the White Sox sent nine men to the plate in the bottom half. Paul Konerko doubled in a run and touched home on Dunn's blast to right field. Carlos Quentin and Alex Rios had back-to-back doubles, and Gordon Beckham singled in a run later in the frame.
