• Kevin Slowey carried the Twins to an 8-1 victory over the Florida Marlins yesterday with great work both on the mound and at the plate. The 24-year-old right-hander worked 5 innings of 1-run ball and struck out 5 while giving up two hits. He also went 2-2 with a double and 3 RBI at the plate.
The Twins have an off day today, but will play the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday in Sarasota, Florida.
