					| Chicago Befuddled by Puffer in 7-0 Whitewash |  
					| Bud Puffer kept the opposition off the scoreboard and the Minnesota Twins were all smiles after winning 7-0 against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field today. The right-handed Puffer gave up no runs in his start, permitted 1 hit and had 10 strikeouts. 
 "If there was a stat for 'team shutout,' this would be it," Puffer said later. "My catcher called a great game, guys delivered at the plate and when I messed something up the guys behind me were where they needed to be."
 
 This year Puffer has a 12-8 record with a 3.68 ERA in 23 starts.
