The Fort Myers (MIN) Twins picked up a win at George M. Steinbrenner Field, knocking off the Tampa (NYY) Yankees 2, 2-0. Starting pitcher Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz played a key role in the triumph. Rodriguez-Cruz went 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 4-1. The Twins sport a record of 12-20.

It could have been a different outcome for Fort Myers (MIN), had it not been for José Franco, the 20-year old center fielder . Franco contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the fourth inning to put Fort Myers (MIN) up, 2-0.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Franco told the Fort Myers (MIN) Gazette.
