Twins Drop Cardinals, 6-4
The Minnesota Twins topped the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 6-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to center fielder Blake Ballard. Ballard went 2-5 with a home run. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Twins on the day. Jim Storer, credited with the win, is now 1-3. He allowed no runs on no hits. The triumph makes Minnesota 11-24.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Joel Kunkler came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing St. Louis pitcher Paul Gill, he hit a first pitch slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 5-4.

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