Twins Get Clutch Win Versus San Francisco
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Metropolitan Stadium, topping the San Francisco Giants, 4-3. On the mound for Minnesota was right-hander Rick Rhoden. He played a principal role in the triumph. Sean Runyan snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-2 on the season. Grant Roberts suffered the loss. Brusdar Graterol finished to wrap up his 17th save.

Had Jose Offerman not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Offerman hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Twins.

Minnesota manager Dan Hornbaker was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.

The 6th-place Twins are 33-36.
