The Twins followed up Friday night's improbable, Jason Kubel induced, comeback win with a solid victory on Saturday night. Big innings in the fifth and sixth helped the Twins to a 9-2 victory--their biggest win of the season. The win locked up a series victory against the Los Angeles Angels for the team's first series win of the season.
Kevin Slowey rebounded nicely from a shaky start to the season. After allowing 5 runs in each of his first two starts, Slowey held the Angels to just 2 runs through 7 strong innings. The long ball has been Slowey's achilles heel this year, and Torii Hunter's 2-run shot in the second inning was all the scoring the Angels would do.
