Twins lose to White Sox in José Berríos start

share-square-226586
CHICAGO -- Josh Donaldson tried to call the Twins to action in a team meeting over the weekend. He tried to energize them by taking a dig at Lucas Giolito and basking in the controversy that followed. He tried to jolt the club in the right direction with a homer and emphatic bat drop to start Wednesday’s game amid a chorus of South Side boos.
His call went unanswered.
All of the buildup for this Twins-White Sox matchup -- the makings of a Minnesota hot streak, the barbs thrown back and forth in the media, the acknowledgment of a do-or-die stretch for the Twins -- collapsed in a dull thud this week at Guaranteed Rate Field, mostly because, for as much as Donaldson can do for this team, he can’t solve its pitching problems.
