The Minnesota Twins completed a three game sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 9-3 victory on Thursday night. The game was never really in doubt for the Twins as they took the lead in the third inning and never looked back. Great series for the Twins!
Michael Cuddyer and Brian Buscher both had two rbi in the game to lead the Twins at the plate. Alexi Casilla, Joe Mauer, and Jason Kubel all helped out with one rbi as well. It was great to see the Twins have such good production as they scored nine runs without hitting one home run in the game. That is how you manufacture runs!
On the mound, Glen Perkins tossed eight inning to pick up the victory and improve his record to 3-2. Perkins gave up ten hits but only three runs scored off those ten hits. Craig Breslow was called on to come in and finish off the Nationals in the ninth inning and that was exactly what he did without any problems.
The Twins will now take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three game series over the weekend.
