Twins 4 Rays 2
Steve Holm and Jason Repko, the bottom two in the batting order, each had their first two hits of the season as the visiting Minnesota Twins snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday afternoon.
Holm had a single and scored on an error, Repko hit an RBI single and scored, and Matt Tolbert capped a three-run rally in the fifth inning with an RBI triple as the Twins (5-10) erased a 2-1 Tampa Bay lead. Jason Kubel also hit his second home run in two days in the fourth inning for Minnesota.
Brian Duensing (1-0) pitched seven innings for the win, allowing two runs on seven hits. Matt Capps earned his first save in place of Joe Nathan, pitching a scoreless ninth.
Sam Fuld had two hits for the Rays (6-9), whose five-game win streak ended.
Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson (1-2) gave up six hits and four runs in seven innings.
Johnny Damon left the game in the fifth inning with a bruised left ring finger. He was injured in the bottom of the third, when a pitch hit both his bat and the finger on a bunt attempt. Damon stayed in to hit an RBI single, giving the Rays a 1-0 lead, but was eventually replaced by Matt Joyce in left field.
