Blitzed by LaRoche, Twins, Mariners Sink Further in WC
Riding the 3-hit performance of designated hitter Adam LaRoche, the Minnesota Twins stopped the visiting Seattle Mariners, 6-3, in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series. LaRoche went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for the Twins, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 0.

There was more than one reason the Twins beat the Mariners, but LaRoche's big at-bat in the bottom of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-0 lead when he hit a 2-run double.

Minnesota manager Mark Belanger commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."

The next game is set to be played for Friday, October 12th , 2007 at Kingdome in Seattle.
