Twins Victors, 3-0, at Baltimore
Getting an impressive start from Jason Simontacchi, Minnesota beat Baltimore by the score of 3-0. Simontacchi, the winner, moves to 8-11. He threw 6.1 innings of 1-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 2 walks. Baltimore's current losing streak is now 4 games.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Eric Chavez to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Twins ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"I like to lead by example," said Chavez. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
