The Twins sweep the Nats, finishing off their three-game series this afternoon with a 9-3 win. Both starting pitchers allowed ten this. Perkins allowed those over eight innings while Hill gave them up in 3 2/3.

Cuddyer and Kubel both knocked out a double and a triple. It's fairly rare for two players on the same team to pick up that combination of hits in a game. It's the 129th time it happened since 1957, a little more than three times a season. This, however, was the second time the Twins accomplished the feat this season. Gomez and Punto accomplished the feat against the White Sox on May 7th.
