Devil Rays Absorb 5-3 Loss at Metrodome 1983
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Metrodome 1983, taking down the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 5-3. Starting pitcher Vicente Tafoya was a big reason why. Tafoya picked up the win for Minnesota, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 10-5. The save went to Jeremy McMullen, his 1st this season.

The Twins got a big at-bat from second baseman Marcus Giles. For the game, Giles went 1-4 with a triple. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 2nd triple of the season gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead.

"Credit where credit is due," said Giles, "this was a team win."

The Twins saw their record improve to 80-43.
