Cervantes Lifts Twins to 6-3 Triumph
The Minnesota Twins defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3, at Target Field. Minnesota second baseman Jamal Cervantes had a superb performance. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Jake Meacha got credit for the win, improving to 3-3. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 7 innings. Víctor Ortega earned the save for Minnesota, his 6th.

Cervantes contributed in the bottom of the fifth. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Minnesota get the win.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Cervantes told the Minnesota Bulletin.

Minnesota now has a 3-game win streak.
