Twins Sweep Angels
The Minnesota Twins were off to a rocky start before they opened a three game series against the Anaheim Angels on Friday night. In fact, after seven and a half innings of play in that game they were still rocky, but that all changed when Jason Kubel hit a grand slam to win the game for the Twins. They carried that momentum into Saturday's game and right on into Sunday's game. They Twins completed a sweep Sunday behind the arm of Glen Perkins, who pitched 8 innings of baseball for the third time this season. Perkins earned his first win of the season giving up just 4 hits and 1 earned run. The Twins are back to .500 for the season and now head to Boston with a lot more confidence than they had just three days ago. Perkins was hit in the leg by a line drive in the seventh inning but remained in the game and pitched one more inning after that. He most likely would have pitched the ninth inning as well but the leg was getting a little tight due to the hit he took. The Twins have Monday off before playing a two game series at Boston starting Tuesday night.
