Twins Squeeze Out Win in Pitching Duel
|
Starting pitcher Billy Richardson gave the Minnesota Twins a rock-solid effort. The Columbus, Mississippi native helped his team defeat the Texas Rangers, 1-0, at Target Field. Joe Rincón earned the save for Minnesota, his 2nd of the year. With the win over Texas, the Twins improved to 31-37.
Had Juan Ríos not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Ríos hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Twins.
"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Richardson.
