Twins Keep Streak Alive with Late Rally
Minnesota got a strong outing from Bud Puffer as the Twins defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2, at PNC Park. The victory gives Minnesota a record of 54-29.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Will Leslie to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Puffer called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
