Late Rally by Twins Secures Win
The Minnesota Twins saddled the Los Angeles Angels with a loss at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The final score was 4-3. Jay Bruce, named player of the game, was 2 for 3, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Minnesota designated hitter scored 1 run and drove in 2. Clayton Richard picked up the win with 7 innings of work. He allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 1. On the season, he is now 2-6. The save was credited to Juan Nicasio, his 5th.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Avisail Garcia to capture the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Garcia, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."

Minnesota, at 22-25, sits in 4th place in the American League Central Division.
