Twins 3, White Sox 2 (10): Oswaldo Arcia belted his second homer of the day to lead off the 10th inning as visiting Minnesota continued its mastery of Chicago by completing a doubleheader sweep.

After going deep in the Twins' 7-5 triumph in the opener, Arcia greeted Dylan Axelrod (4-9) by depositing a 1-0 fastball over the wall in center for his ninth homer.

Josh Willingham homered to lead off the eighth inning and forge a 2-2 tie. Chris Herrmann also went deep for Minnesota, which homered seven times overall on Friday to defeat its American League Central rival for the eighth time in 10 meetings this season.

Brian Duensing (6-1) picked up his second victory of the day after retiring the side in order in the ninth. Glen Perkins stranded Avisail Garcia at third to secure his 28th save.

Blake Tekotte, who was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte earlier on Friday, recorded his first career homer to snap a tie in the sixth inning. Alexei Ramirez homered in both games of the doubleheader and Charlie Leesman worked five innings in his major-league debut for the White Sox.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Tekotte seized the roster spot of OF Casper Wells, who was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia on Thursday. The 26-year-old Tekotte was playing in his 47th career game - and 17th this season for Chicago. ... Leesman, who was also called up from Triple-A Charlotte, allowed one run on four hits while striking out eight. Five walks elevated the 26-year-old's pitch count and he settled for a no-decision.. ... Recalled from Rochester, Liam Hendriks made his first start since April 10 and permitted two runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings for a no-decision.
