MINNEAPOLIS -- An impressive start from Hector Noesi was just a couple of pitches away from being something really special. Mark Reynolds Jersey . Noesi allowed three hits over 7 2-3 innings, and Adam Eaton had three hits and two RBIs to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night. Noesi (5-7) gave up two runs, struck out three and didnt allow a hit until the fourth inning. Alexei Ramirez added two hits and an RBI for Chicago, and Jake Petricka went one inning to earn his fifth save in six chances. "When you have command of your fastball, every pitch you can mix in, and theyre going to swing and miss," Noesi said. "But everything was working today." Phil Hughes (10-7) gave up two runs and four hits and struck out four for the Twins. But he left the game with a bruised right shin in the fourth inning when he was hit by a chopper off the bat of Adam Dunn. Hughes is listed as day-to-day. Danny Santana hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning for the Twins, who couldnt touch Noesi for most of the game. The White Sox claimed Noesi off waivers from Texas at the end of April and he has been up and down for most of the season. The Dominican right-hander had everything working against the Twins, who traded veteran Kendrys Morales to Seattle earlier Thursday in the first of what could be several salary dumps as the trade deadline approaches. "The strides hes made are impressive from when we got him to what hes doing now where hes at," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "To be able to go out and give you this its definitely steps in the right direction." Noesi didnt allow a hit until the fourth inning, when Trevor Plouffe reached on a bloop single that plopped down between three White Sox. He allowed only two runners in the first seven innings, and by the time the Twins got to him in the eighth, it was too late. "He kept us off balance all night long," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. Hughes, in an ominous sign for a team that has struggled mightily to find quality starting pitching, limped off the field in the fourth inning after being hit. X-rays were negative, and Hughes is hopeful to make his next start. The White Sox jumped on emergency reliever Samuel Deduno, who walked in a run and gave up a two-run single to Eaton to fall behind 4-0. The Twins cant afford to lose Hughes, who has been by far their best starter this season. He entered the game with a 10-6 record and 4.06 ERA, and his reliable performance through the first half of the season made his three-year, $24 million contract one of the few bright spots during another miserable season in Minnesota. "Just thankful it wasnt broken and just go from there," Hughes said. "Its sore right now and Im sure it will be worse tomorrow. Im just happy it should be all right in a few days." NOTES: Chicagos Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a double in the fifth. ... White Sox bench coach Mark Parent is not with the team for the series due to family reasons. ... With regular 3B coach Joe Vavras hip ailing, the Twins have been using 1B coach Scott Ullger at third and Paul Molitor at 1B. Molitor is leaving the team this weekend to attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown so the Twins called up Sam Perlozzo to coach 1B for the rest of the weekend. Perlozzo is the teams minor league instructor. ... The White Sox send LHP John Danks (8-6, 4.35) to the mound on Friday night against RHP Kevin Correia (5-12, 4.76).

MORITZ, Switzerland -- Latvia won a four-man World Cup bobsled race Sunday, while the U.Leicesters march to a remarkable Premier League title win goes on - but have Claudio Ranieris side been fortunate in recent weeks with refereeing decisions? Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson and Robert Huth (twice) have had the ball strike their arm in the Leicester penalty box in the past two months, without a spot-kick being awarded against them.At the other end, the Foxes have been awarded 10 penalties - the most in the Premier League and four more than any other side. In fact, Jamie Vardy alone (six) has been awarded more penalties than 18 Premier League teams.Former top-flight referee Dermot Gallagher analyses the weekends key decisions on Sky Sports News HQ every Monday morning.Here, he takes a closer look at some recent big calls in Leicesters Premier League fixtures and delivers his verdict on whether theyve had the rub of the green…MATCH: Sunderland 0-2 Leicester, April 10 Sunderlands DeAndre Yedlin challenges Leicesters Shinji Okazaki INCIDENT 1: Marc Albrighton plays a diagonal ball over the Sunderland defence which Shinji Okazaki races on to. As the ball sails over the defence, DeAndre Yedlin attempts to clear but misses the ball and catches Okazaki in the chest. Referee Anthony Taylor decides not to award Leicester a penalty.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Incorrect decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think its a foul and a penalty. I dont think the referee realises what has happened. Yedlin had caught Okazaki in the chest and he is not near the ball. Anthony doesnt see it like that, but the penalty should have been given. INCIDENT 2: Sunderlands Patrick van Aanholt fires in a low cross which strikes Leicester defender Robert Huth on the arm as he slides in to make a challenge. The referee decides not to point to the spot.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The cross strikes Huths hand not the other way around, so its definitely not a penalty. Huth cant cut his arm off, its there and he was just going to ground. His arms have to go somewhere and that is what you would call a natural position.MATCH: Leicester 1-0 Southampton, April 3 INCIDENT 1: Southamptons Sadio Mane is clean through on goal, rounds goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, but has a goal-bound shot blocked by Leicesters Danny Simpson. Handball was not given. GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: It has to be intentional, and not be committed. It wouldve hit his chest. But I think the rule has got to be more prescriptive, it has got to be, This is handball or This isnt handball. INCIDENT 2: Southamptons Charlie Austin plays a low cross in the area which strikes Huth on the arm, but the referee gives Southampton a corner rather than a spot-kick.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The ball has coome from a short distance and it has come at speed, theres no doubt about that. Howie Kendrick Jersey. Can he get his hand out the way? Im not convinced he can. INCIDENT 3: Wes Morgan rises above Jordy Clasie to head in Christian Fuchs cross to score, but the Leicester captain appeared to put his arm across the Dutchman while contending for the ball.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: Michael Oliver has a great view of it. He can see what force he puts into it. I dont think its a foul. INCIDENT 4: Very early on in the second half, Victor Wanyama miscontrols the ball, Jamie Vardy pounces on it and is dragged back with what appeared to be an arm across the face. A yellow card is given, but should it have been a red?GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: Hes on his shoulder to start with. Its a pull-back and Michael has got that right. Hes very clever to realise the first touch is to take the ball away and not panicking and giving a red card.MATCH: Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester, March 19 INCIDENT: A Leicester corner is taken and Scott Dann pulls Robert Huths shirt off in the penalty box. The referee gives nothing.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The referee is too distant from the incident. He has so much to watch, hes looking through so many players he cant see that. MATCH: Leicester 2-2 West Brom, March 1 INCIDENT: With Leicester 1-0 down, Danny Drinkwater scores an equaliser but West Broms Stephane Sessegnon is booked after the goal for his reaction to a challenge by Foxes full-back Christian Fuchs in the build-up.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Foul: Incorrect decision. Reaction: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: My first reaction when I saw it was no foul [by Fuchs]. When you see it again from a different angle, its definitely a foul. Its a yellow card at least, bordering on a red card. Hes [Sessegnon] berated the official too much. Mark Clattenburg has backed the assistant, and the assistant thinks it wasnt a foul.MATCH: Leicester 1-0 Norwich, February 27 INCIDENT: With this Premier League encounter finely poised, Cameron Jerome curls an effort at goal. The ball appears to hit Wes Morgan on the arm in the penalty area. Nothing is given.GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: It cant be given. It is not deliberate, hes turned away and it has hit him. Also See: Typical Leicester? Foxes still have work to do Ranieri: Everything in our hands Carra on Leicesters title tilt ' ' '
