Now that is an exciting victory for the Minnesota Twins as they hit to two solo home runs in the ninth inning and defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 to open up their three game series. Brendan Harris and Brian Buscher went back to back off of Padres closer Trevor Hoffman to get the win for the Twins.
The Twins first run of the game in the first inning when Michael Cuddyer singled to right field and Alexi Casilla scored. It was then eight more innings before the Twins scored again with the two home runs. They were lucky to come away with the win as they really need to figure out a way to score in the middle innnings of the game.
Dennys Reyes ended up picking up the win and is now 2-0 on the season. Joe Nathan recorded his 20th save of the season in the ninth inning. Twins starting pitcher Kevin Slowey pitched six innings and only gave up four hits while striking out seven Padres. Jesse Crain gave up one run in the seventh inning on a groundout. Other then that the Twins pitching straff did a pretty good job.
