Puffer Impressive in Minnesota Win
The Minnesota Twins got a good effort from starter Bud Puffer in defeating the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The final score was 5-1. The Twins lead the American League Central Division by 5 games.

Puffer was effective for Minnesota, seldom allowing the Orioles to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 99 pitches over 8 innings. He limited Baltimore to just 1 run on 4 hits.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Puffer said.
