5-1 Win Gets Minnesota to 61-59
The Twins grabbed a win, 5-1, at Yankee Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from New York pitcher Pablo Castaneda. Castaneda went 7 innings and allowed 4 runs. The win went to Ken Poole in relief, making him now 6-2. Pablo Castaneda took the loss for New York. With the win, Minnesota raised its record to 61-59.

It could have been a different outcome for Minnesota, had it not been for Kurt Villarreal, the 28-year old right fielder . Villarreal contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put Minnesota up, 2-0.

"It was a solid team effort," said Villarreal after the game.
