St. Louis Cardinals (23-29) 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 0

Twins Top Cardinals, 8-1
The Minnesota Twins went home winners at Target Field, thanks in large part to starter Randolph King. King stifled the St. Louis Cardinals, enabling Minnesota to grab the 8-1 win. The 'W' lifts Minnesota's record to 28-22.

The Cardinals had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Twins going into the bottom of the second inning. That changed quickly when the three-time Gold Glove Award winner Juan Ramírez came to the plate. Ramírez hit a 2-run double on a 0-1 curveball from St. Louis hurler Walt Parker. It was Ramírez's 10th double of the year.

King attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
