Pirates Drop Contest, 5-1, to Minnesota
Minnesota starter Jake Meacha put a stranglehold on the Pittsburgh offense. The left-hander had complete command of his cutter in leading the Twins to a 5-1 win. Carlos Hernández was credited with the save, his 4th in 7 tries. With the win, Minnesota upped its record to 65-42.

Leandro Vargo, the two-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Vargo contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put Minnesota up, 3-1.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Twins manager Brian Odeja, "I like our chances."
