Late Rally by Twins Secures 5-3 Win
The Minnesota Twins topped the Baltimore Orioles, 5-3, with left fielder Garret Anderson playing a big role. Anderson went 4-5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 times for the Twins in the win. Jordan Posadas got the win, improving to 8-22. He held the Orioles to 3 runs on 6 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 5 and walking 0. Len Watts, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 16th save.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Anderson delivered big-time for Minnesota, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Jay Holland. The game-changing hit put the Twins on top, 4-3.

"Garret is still learning," said Twins manager Taylor Smith. "The sky's the limit for him."

With the win over Baltimore, the Twins improved to 42-112.
