CHICAGO -- A few hours after Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko stressed they weren’t sweating the Chicago White Sox's ability to revive their struggling offense, their words proved true.

The White Sox snapped out of their offensive slump with 10 hits and three home runs in a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field on Monday. They had scored four or fewer runs in eight of their prior 10 games.

Dunn and Konerko contributed to the charge, each hitting a home run and driving in a combined five runs. Alex Rios also homered, and Alejandro De Aza had three hits in the leadoff spot.

“When we’re hitting like that, we’re pretty good,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “It’s one of those, again, you go through a tough stretch. A night like tonight you hope carries over and swing it better.”

Dunn’s home run was a pleasant sight for the White Sox after he hadn’t hit one in his previous seven games. His shot to center field pushed him back into sole possession of the major-league lead with 29.

But more so than Dunn, Konerko’s home run was something the White Sox had been awaiting. He hadn’t hit any in July, and his last one came on June 29. It was also the last time he had three hits in a game. On Monday, he accomplished both feats.

“If people are worried about Paul, we have problems,” Dunn said. “He’s obviously capable of going on some pretty unbelievable tears. He’s been getting singles here and there. He just hasn’t been driving the ball out of the park. Hopefully, this is a good sign for him.”

Konerko admitted he was happy to finally see the ball go out, too, but he hadn’t been too focused on it.

“You know you can do it, but every now and again it’s nice to get that validation the work is paying off,” Konerko said. “The hardest thing to understand isn’t to force the power or extra-base hits or whatever you say. You can go up there sometimes and force a hit; you can force a good at-bat.”

But as good as Monday felt for Konerko, he wasn’t going to over-think what happened.

“You just do the work,” Konerko said. “I’ve pretty much trusted my work the last 2-3 years. It’s served me well. You’re sometimes battling a bit when it’s not coming. You want to do it because you want to help the team because that’s my job to do that stuff. At the same time, you can only put in the work and if it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t happen, what are you supposed to do? You keep thinking the next day is the day. It was a good day, but certainly not out of the woods yet. There’s still stuff I’m working on, stuff I’m getting better at.”
