Making the Most of Two
Both games of the Detroit-Chicago double header fell to rain, and the Twins are taking advantage of the idle White Sox. They won the first game of their double header against Baltimore 12-2 as Daniel Cabrera continues to lose control. He walked five in 5 1/3 innings while striking out just one. That gives Cabera 90 walks and 95 K on the year, a ratio that won't keep him in the big leagues very long.
Denard Span hit two home runs out of the leadoff slot and drove in four, while Justin Morneau collected four hits, two doubles and two RBI as there's some talk about him for MVP.
In the night cap, the Twins are off to a 6-0 lead in the first. The sent nine men to the plate in the inning. Seven reached base and six scored. If Minnesota can make the early lead hold up, they will be tied in the games back column with Chicago, but one game down in the AFILC.
