The Twins selected Revere's contract from Double-A New Britain Saturday. Manager Ron Gardenhire said a corresponding roster move would be made Sunday. Right fielder Jason Kubel is expected back in the lineup after being hit on the left wrist by a pitch and…

He was their only option. Turns out, he was the perfect choice. Denard Span delivered the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, emergency starter Fox pitched 5 2-3 innings in his major league debut, and the depleted Minnesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers 4-3 on Friday night.

Baker lasted just two innings in his start on Thursday night. He had a cortisone shot after leaving the game and said on Friday that his elbow already is feeling a little better.

Baker allowed two runs and three hits, including a homer by Don Kelly. He has had trouble keeping his arm loose in some starts this season, and there was no immediate word on the severity of the injury.

Consider the T-shirt the proud University of Miami product was wearing after the game, blaring "The 'U' invented swagger" on the front. Minnesota's up-and-coming third baseman couldn't have expected to do this well, though.

The Twins announced the move before Wednesday's game. Van Mil is a right-hander from the Netherlands who turns 26 later this month. He was designated for assignment to make room for Fuentes when the deal was made last Friday.
