Gavin Floyd’s no-hit bid lasted until the ninth this time. Joe Mauer doubled with one out off Chicago’s young right-hander for the Minnesota Twins’ only hit and Floyd had to settle for a 7-1 victory Tuesday night as the White Sox ended a six-game losing streak. Floyd (3-1) was taken out to a standing ovation after Mauer’s double to left-center and Bobby Jenks came on to get the final two outs.
