Tampa Bay Downed, 4-1, by Twins
Tampa Bay got a terrific performance from pitcher Chuck Bowers, but it wasn't enough to beat the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota won the Tropicana Field contest, 4-1. Bowers threw 8.0 innings of 2-hit ball for the losing team. Minnesota is now 27-29, Tampa Bay 25-30.

Minnesota used a timely hit from 25-year old first baseman Raúl Fernández to get the win. The left fielder delivered a bases-clearing triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Twins on top, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was huge.

"If you chase it, you need to get it," said Minnesota skipper Robin Ventura.
