Minnesota Beats Oakland, 4-1
Minnesota pitcher Michael Colin did his part in helping his team beat the Oakland Athletics, 4-1. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Earning his 1st save of the year was Mark Case. The Twins raised their record to 1-4.

Minnesota needed the clutch hitting of Kevin Howard to notch the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-1. For the game, Howard had 1 home run and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"I'm a bit of a clubhouse prankster," said Colin. "But it's all business when we're on the field."
