López Slugs Twins to 9-5 Win
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

Minnesota left fielder Martín López contributed to his team's 9-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles. López, who is tied for 7th in the AL in doubles with 22, went 3 for 5 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Twins. Minnesota pitcher Nathan Kirby got the win. He's now 8-5. Chris Kahnke was tagged with the loss.

With Minnesota leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth, López hit a fastball from Chris Kahnke for a 2-run home run. It was his 17th home run of the season and put the Twins ahead, 5-2.

"It feels good to get this one," López told the Minnesota Observer.

Minnesota, at 55-36, is 8 games up in the American League Central.
