Minnesota and Tampa Bay duked it out and the Twins came out victorious.

The Twins got a big at-bat from first baseman Brad Fullmer. For the game, Fullmer went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 10th home run of the season gave Minnesota a 2-1 lead.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Minnesota manager Jeremy Stout.
