Cuddyer, Span help Twins edge Rangers
Baseball Betting Lines
09/05/2010 -
Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Cuddyer and Denard Span each drove
in a pair of runs and Minnesota survived a ninth-inning scare to take a 6-5
decision over Texas in the finale of a three-game series from Target Field.
Orlando Hudson and J.J. Hardy also collected an RBI each for the Twins, who
swept the set from the AL West leaders and have won eight of their last 10
games.
Nick Blackburn (9-9) allowed six hits and two runs over seven solid innings,
fanning four with three walks for Minnesota, which maintained its 3 1/2 game
lead over Chicago in the AL Central after the White Sox topped Boston.
Matt Capps earned his ninth save despite allowing two runs to score and being
charged with a run on three hits while recording the final out of the game.
Matt Treanor drove in two while Julio Borbon, Cristian Guzman and Vladimir
Guerrero added RBI hits in the ninth for the Rangers, who slid to their sixth
loss in eight outings.
C.J. Wilson (14-6) was tagged in the loss for seven hits and six runs,
striking out five but walking four over 5 1/3 frames.
Jon Rauch turned in a scoreless eighth but allowed an RBI double from Borbon
with two down in the ninth and departed with a runner on second.
Capps was called upon but Guzman hit a run-scoring single for a 6-4 game.
Young followed with a base hit and David Murphy walked to load the bases.
Guerrero then sent a ball up the middle. It was fielded by Hudson behind
second base and he threw to third behind Young, who was trying to go back to
the base.
Although Guzman scored to make it a one-run game, Young was called out due to
runners interference -- incidental contact with Texas' third-base
coach -- while rounding the bag.
Cudddyer's two-run double in the first staked the Twins to the lead, then the
Rangers countered in their next at-bat with a Treanor two-run single.
Minnesota got a run back in the home second as Hardy and Matt Tolbert both
walked, Jason Repko beat out a bunt single and Span's sacrifice fly plated the
go-ahead run.
The home team put up three more runs in the sixth. Jason Kubel and Delmon
Young stroked back-to-back singles then a Hardy hit plated one run. Repko
walked two batters later to load the bases then Span also walked to force in a
run and chase Wilson.
Michael Kirkman then allowed a sac fly from Hudson to make it 6-2 before
retiring Joe Mauer on a fly out.
Blackburn finished his performance by sending the Rangers down in order in the
sixth then working around a Guzman double in the seventh.
