Twins Win at Home, 5-3
A 3-RBI performance from left fielder Wilyer Abreu, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in hits with 147, led the Minnesota Twins to a win over the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-3. Jhoan Duran was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 20 of 21 save opportunities. The victory gives Minnesota a record of 70-60.

Dong-hyuk Lee had a big solo home run for the Twins in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Minnesota leading 3-2 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Drew Thorpe and punished it. The result was his 24th home run of the season, which put the Twins on top, 4-2.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Lee told the Minnesota Bulletin.
