The Atlanta Hammers stopped the Minnesota Twins, 8-5, in 10 innings at Target Field. The Hammers got a big game from Josh Moore, who was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The winner was Atlanta reliever Joe Byrd, now 6-4. The loser was Jorge Fajardo. Dan Hicks notched his 28th save in 34 chances.

The game was all tied up in the top of the tenth, until Moore delivered big-time for Atlanta, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Jorge Fajardo. The game-changing hit put the Hammers on top, 6-5.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Moore. "I like it."

Today's win puts Atlanta at 57-71, while Minnesota falls to 69-59.
