Ron Gardenhire's Minnesota Twins will take the field against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday evening trying to erase a two-game losing streak and tie up their three-game series at one win apiece.
The Twins will welcome recently activated pitcher Scott Diamond back to the mound. The 26-year-old left-hander wrapped up his six-game suspension for throwing at the head of Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton during a game in late August. Diamond enters in search of his 11th victory of the season and will clearly be anxious to put this unfortunate situation behind him with a big performance.
Here are Tuesday's lineups:
Twins
1. Ben Revere, CF
2. Jamey Carroll, 2B
3. Joe Mauer, C
4. Josh Willingham, DH
5. Justin Morneau, 1B
6. Ryan Doumit, LF
7. Chris Parmelee, RF
8. Trevor Plouffe, 3B
9. Eduardo Escobar, SS
