Bautista Whacks 2 Home Runs in 6-5 Win
A good performance from first baseman Jose Bautista helped the Minnesota Twins defeat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5. Bautista went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Twins. Minnesota reliever Matt Kretzschmar snagged the win, upping his record to 2-1. Neftali Feliz shouldered the loss. Tim Vasquez recorded the save, his 4th.

Bautista had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 fastball from Neftali Feliz, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Twins a 6-5 lead. It was the 9th home run of the year for Bautista.

"Winning is contagious," said Bautista. "We're looking forward to the next game."

Minnesota bumps their record to 32-27 with the win.
