Nationals Stumble, Lose to Twins
Minnesota starter Joel Kull kept the Washington hitters in check, helping his team cruise to a win, 9-2. Kull, the winner, moves to 7-1. He threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 8 and giving up 3 walks. Danny Solis, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 2nd save.

Alex de los Santos had a big 2-run double for the Twins in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Minnesota leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from fan favorite Andrew Babcock and swatted a double to right. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 4-0.

"Joel mixed and matched," said Minnesota manager Chris Greuling.

Minnesota is now 33-21.
