Diaz Hits 2 home runs in Twins Win
Minnesota designated hitter Miguel Diaz played a vital role in his team's 10-4 triumph over Baltimore. He went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk for Minnesota. Scott Shank picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 5 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 8-7. Jack Overbeek converted his 2nd save in 2 tries.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Harris Vink? The Minnesota left fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Twins on top, 5-3. For the game, Vink had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Twins manager Jorge G Twins, "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."

Minnesota is now 67-39, 7½ games up in the American League Central Division.
