Ramirez set a rookie record with his fourth grand slam of the season, and Chicago beat Detroit 8-2 in a rainout makeup today, forcing a one-game tiebreaker against Minnesota for the AL Central title, the AP reports.
The Twins will visit the White Sox tomorrow night, with John Danks starting for Chicago on 3 days' rest against Nick Blackburn. The division champ begins the playoffs at Tampa Bay on Thursday.
