The Minnesota Twins beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2, at Target Field. Jay Bruce, who finished 3rd in the AL in runs with 116 last year, starred for Minnesota. He went 3 for 5 with a triple and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Matt Kretzschmar was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-1. The losing pitcher was Brandon Gomes. Minnesota now sits at 30-27, while St. Louis falls to 23-35.

Bruce had a game-changing triple in the bottom of the eighth. On a first pitch fastball from Brandon Gomes, he banged a run-scoring triple to right, giving the Twins a 3-2 lead. It was the 6th triple of the year for Bruce.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Bruce.
