Francisco Liriano tossed seven innings of one-run ball as the Twins spoiled the White Sox debut of Kevin Youkilis with a 4-1 victory. Joe Mauer and Trevor Plouffe each hit a sac-fly while Jamey Carroll drove in a run for Minnesota, which has won three-of-four. The absence of Matt Capps gave Jared Burton the chance to convert his second-career save. Youkilis went 1-for-4 in his first game since being traded from Boston to Chicago. Alexei Ramirez hit a sac-fly for the White Sox, who had won three-of-four. Jake Peavy allowed three runs and struck out seven over six innings to suffer the defeat.
