Colorado Beaten, 5-4, by Minnesota in 10
The Minnesota Twins did just enough to nip the Colorado Rockies, 5-4, in 10 innings. Minnesota pitcher Vern Law, in particular, had a standout performance. Brusdar Graterol, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in saves with 30, earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 3-5. After today's action, Minnesota sits at 71-64; Colorado slips to 64-73.

Minnesota got a clutch hit from Jose Offerman. The second baseman launched a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"This joint was rocking," said Offerman.
