Twins clobber Indians
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Justin Morneau had a big two-run single in his return from a five-game absence and the Minnesota Twins broke out of a season-long offensive slump in a 10-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.
Brian Duensing (2-0) gave up one run on five hits in seven innings. The Twins scored more than five runs in a game for the first time this season, one night after the series opener was postponed by rain.
Fausto Carmona (1-3) gave up six runs on seven hits and walked four in five innings for the Indians. Grady Sizemore hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Dusty Hughes, but the game was already out of reach by then.
Danny Valencia hit a two-run homer and Jason Kubel had two hits and three RBIs for the Twins, who entered the day with the fewest runs scored in the majors.
