The MVB on the Web

Great win for the Twins last night as the team improves to 2-1 on the season. Justin Morneau picked up his first hit of the season on a monster two run homerun off of former Twin Carlos Silva. Morneau had three RBI’s on the night and Denard Span hit a two run homerun of his own. Kevin Slowey struggled to settle into the game, but did manage to fight through six innings and picked up his first win of the season. A tip of the hat goes to the bullpen which pitched three really great scoreless innings, including Joe Nathan picking up his first save of the season and his 200th career save. Only Nathan and Twins legend Rick Aguilera have recorded 200 saves in a Twins uniform.

This afternoon the Twins and Mariners conclude their series at the Metrodome. Southpaws Glen Perkins and Jarrod Washburn will pitching for their respective clubs.
