Twins Earn 6-4 Home Win
The Minnesota Twins cut down the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 6-4, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Eric Chavez. Chavez was 3-4 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Twins. The winning pitcher was Randy Johnson. He's now 11-9. He went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits for the Twins. Juan Cruz earned his 31st save in 34 chances.

Minnesota took a 6-4 lead on Dustan Mohr's 24th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Mohr hit in the bottom of the seventh, left St. Louis pitcher Billy Koch visibly frustrated.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Chavez. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."

The win puts Minnesota at 77-69 this season.
