CHICAGO -- The way hes hitting, Justin Morneau just might be playing his way onto another team. Then again, the Twins could hang onto him. Morneau continued his surge with a grand slam and solo homer, and Minnesota rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-5 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Friday. "I dont think a hot streak or a cold streak will affect (my trade value) too much," he said. "If theres a team that feels like you can contribute, then if they feel like its worth giving up something, thatll happen. If not, Im happy here." Morneaus been on a tear since the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, with a .343 average and five homers in August after Fridays first game. Of course, he knows he can still be dealt. The White Sox pulled off a trade before the game, sending Alex Rios to Texas, and were in line for their fourth straight win before Morneau mucked it up. His grand slam off reliever Nate Jones with two out in the seventh wiped out a 3-1 deficit. He added a solo drive in the ninth off Ramon Troncoso, making it 7-3. "It feels like my swing when I go up there, and thats something Ive been searching for for a long time," Morneau said. Glen Perkins gave up a two-run single to Alexei Ramirez in the bottom half before striking out Adam Dunn to end the game. Chris Colabello and Oswaldo Arcia also went deep for Minnesota and the Twins came away with the win after dropping two of three at Kansas City. Chicagos Paul Konerko tied Cal Ripken Jr. with his 431st home run. Ramirez went deep for the first time since April 3, making it 3-1 with a two-run drive in the fifth, and the White Sox fell after sweeping three from the New York Yankees. John Danks was in line for his first win since July 2, but the bullpen couldnt hold it for him. He left to cheers after walking Clete Thomas and Pedro Florimon to start the seventh. Matt Lindstrom struck out Brian Dozier before Donnie Veal (1-3) walked Joe Mauer to load the bases. Then, after Jones struck out Josh Willingham, Morneau drove a 1-2 pitch out to right. The grand slam was the seventh of his career and his first since July 20, 2009, at Oakland. Gibson lasted 5 2-3 innings for Minnesota and allowed three runs and four hits, including the drives by Konerko and Ramirez. He struck out four and walked four. Brian Duensing (5-1) struck out Blake Tekotte to end the sixth. Jared Burton and Casey Fien each worked a scoreless inning before Perkins came in. "I like what (Gibson) did," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He made a couple of mistakes and they got him both times. Other than that, I thought he was not over-throwing the ball and I thought his sinker looked pretty good. He gave us a good opportunity and the bullpen came in and did really good work." For the White Sox, the big news came before the game. The Rios trade is the latest step as they try to pick themselves up from a dismal season. It created an opening for Avisail Garcia, the promising outfielder acquired from Detroit as part of a three-team deal that sent Jake Peavy from the White Sox to Boston before the July 31 non-waiver deadline. He was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte after the Rios trade was announced. "These last couple of months, lets salvage a little," Danks said. "We all have pride and make the games count." NOTES: White Sox LF Dayan Viciedo was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 because of discomfort in his left thumb.

Amid a back-and-forth between Riot Games co-founder and League of Legends co-creator Marc Tryndamere Merrill and Team SoloMid owner Andy Reginald Dinh, Merrill has issued a new response to the situation, saying that his initial response on Reddit two days ago was ill-warranted and failed to acknowledge many of the issues discussed by Dinh in a recent interview with theScore.Merrill recognizes that his initial response, which has received criticism from other team owners, industry leaders, journalists and the League of Legends community, read as a passive-aggressive response to Dinhs concerns. Merrill says he agrees with many of Dinhs recent criticisms, both in the interview with theScore and a follow up response by Dinh on Twitlonger.League esports (in its current form) doesnt provide the long-term security and sustainability that we ultimately aspire to for teams and pros, Merrill said in his response. Team costs are rising faster (and in some cases are higher) than team revenues, and while this may be the short-term reality of growing a young sport (particularly as thhe value of teams grow), its not what we believe the long-term state of League esports will be.ddddddddddddThis response backtracks from his original statement, in which he criticized Dinh for spending money on other esports outside League of Legends. In his first response, Merrill said, Maybe [Dinh] should spend some of the millions he has made / makes from League of Legends on paying them instead of investing in other esports where he is losing money.In his new response, Merrill reveals some new information about Riot Games business plans, including team-specific items such as revenue sharing for the teams and their professional players. This is a model that Dinh said works well in first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where teams logos and players signatures are sold as stickers to place on guns. That revenue is divided between Counter-Strikes developer, Valve, and the teams, which ultimately trickles down to the players. ' ' '
