Pirates Suffer 4-1 Loss to Minnesota
Orlando Rodríguez was a vital contributor to the 4-1 Minnesota victory over Pittsburgh. The Twins right fielder went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winner was Gil Warner, who threw 100 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 6 hits. Dan Sears closed the game out for Minnesota, earning his 8th save.

Rodríguez contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Minnesota in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Rodríguez took a fastball from Jorge González and stroked the home run to left-center. His 10th home run of the season allowed the Twins to leap in front, 2-1.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Minnesota manager Michael Brewer. "It's usually not just one thing."

At 51-43, the Twins are currently second in the American League Central Division.
