Twins Lose Late, 6-3
Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome was the site of the home opener for the Minnesota Twins. The contest featured a prime matchup between Jorge De La Rosa of the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and Brandon Webb of the Twins. The final score was 6-3, the Cardinals getting the win. Brandon Webb turned in the best performance. Shane Hawk recorded his 1st save for St. Louis.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Delmon Young to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Young told the St. Louis Bulletin.
