Cardinals 3, Twins 1
Twins Lead Best of Seven Game Series 2-1

The Twins offense was held in check by Cardinals starter John Tudor as they managed justa single run on five hits.  That lone run actually gave the Twins the lead in the sixth inning when Tom Brunansky singled home Greg Gagne to break a scoreless tie.  The Cardinals answered with three runs in the seventh though and what could have been insurmountable lead turned into a close series in the blink of an eye.

Tim Laudner was the only Twins hitter with more then one hit.  Juan Berenguer gave up all three runs in that seventh inning and he took the loss.
