Boof Bonser gave up two runs in third but the Twins stayed in this one and chipped away at the lead before finally winning it late. Nick Punto scored when Michael Cuddyer grounded into a double play in the fourth and then Luis Castillo singled home Torii Hunter in the fifth to tie the game up. Then Jason Bartlett came up big in the seventh and he singled home Jason Tyner for the game winner.
Bonser threw six solid innings but he didn’t get the decision. He gave up the two runs on three hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Pat Neshnek pitched a shutout seventh and he picked up the win while Joe Nathan pitched a no-hit ninth to pick up his second save.
Ramon Ortiz (I cringe when I type that) goes for the Twins tomorrow in a chance for a sweep. Jaret Wright gets the start for the Orioles.
