Twins Knock Off Rays, 5-2
Minnesota and Tampa Bay got after it at Target Field.

Starting pitcher Matt Moore held up his part of the bargain, helping the Minnesota Twins stymie the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-2. Moore picked up the win for Minnesota, going 6 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 4-2.

The Twins got an important contribution from designated hitter Fred Snodgrass, who in the bottom of the first punched a 2-2 fastball into left-center for a 2-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Twins ahead, 4-1.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Minnesota skipper Tom Hotchin.

Minnesota now sits at 71-64, while Tampa Bay falls to 50-85.
