The Minnesot Twins pounded on the Texas Rangers Tuesday night as the Twins beat the Rangers 11-4.  The Twins had 13 hits but they scored 11 runs with great production up and down the lineup.  Eleven runs were scored and not one of them came via the home run which is even more impressive.

Alexi Casilla, Delmon Young, and Mike Lamb all had two rbi each in the game to lead the way for the Twins.  Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Michael Cuddyer, and Adam Everett all had one rbi in the game.  Now that is what I call production up and down the lineup!

Glen Perkins improved his record to 1-1 on the season as he pitched 6 1/3 innings to pick up the win.  Perkins allowed six hits and three runs (two were earned) in his six plus innings of action.  Brian Bass then came in and tossed 2 2/3 innings while giving up one run.

The Twins are in second place of the Central Division as they are 1.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox.   Let’s see if the Twins can make a nice run at the top position during the rest of the week.  Twins Blog
