Despite winning the final two series of the road trip the Twins ended up with a losing record of 4-5 on the trip thanks to the sweep by Cleveland. The Twins defeated the Rangers in the third game of that series by a score of 5 to 3 on Wednesday and will now get a day of rest on Thursday before opening up the weekend series at home against Toronto.

Johan Santana entered Tuesday's game against Texas coming off his most dominate start of the season last week in Cleveland. On Tuesday night he did even better. He had 7 strikeouts through three innings and left the game after the seventh with a season high 13 strikeouts. His only run allowed was on Sammy Sosa's 598th career homer.
