Sandy Alcantara, the winning pitcher, improved to 7-6. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 8 and walking 1. Ralph Comstock nailed down his 35th save.

Jimmy Welsh, who is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, chipped in for Minnesota with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Minnesota manager Tom Hotchin.
