Ervin Santana reeled off a total of 10 strikeouts as the Los Angeles(AL)
Angels outscored the Minnesota Twins 3 to 1.

Santana(3-1) looked very much in control throughout the night. He didn't give
up much, just 8 hits and 1 walk in 8 and 2/3 innings reducing his ERA from
2.14 to 1.91. The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.

Taylor Buchholz was credited with his 2nd save. The loss was charged to Cliff
Lee(4-1). He allowed 9 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Santana - except Minnesota. Rich
Cafiero lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight. He was keeping our guys off
balance all game. A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun
game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'

Angels defeated the Minnesota Twins by the score of 3 to 1 at
Metrodome.

Rich Harden allowed 3 hits while blanking Minnesota at Angels Stadium where
the Los Angeles(AL) Angels beat the Minnesota Twins by the score of 2 to
0.

Harden(2-1) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Minnesota offense. He
surrendered only 3 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from
3.07 to 1.90. Neither team managed to score after the 3rd inning.

Daisuke Matsuzaka(2-2) was the loser. 'Harden was the man tonight,' Rousel
Glaciano said. 'He had just about every pitch working.'

Matsuzaka pitched a complete game as the Minnesota Twins defeated the
Baltimore Orioles 7 to 5 at Camden Yards.

Pence had a big day against Baltimore. He bombed a two-run dinger in the 5th
inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 2nd of the season)
in the 9th inning. Minnesota managed 10 hits in their victory.

Matsuzaka(2-1) lasted until the end allowing 5 runs for the win. Kyle
Davies(0-1) was the losing pitcher. 'I was a little good, a little bad and a
little ugly.' said Matsuzaka, 'I was just giving us a chance to win.'

Mike Jacobs ripped 2 homeruns and Matt Garza pitched a complete game at
Metrodome as the Baltimore Orioles belted the Minnesota Twins by the count of
11 to 1.

Minnesota was unable to recover after Baltimore went ahead in the 2nd inning
as they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits. The early run support proved
sufficient for Garza(1-1) and Baltimore. That was all the run support Garza
required. Baltimore kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they
scored in 6 different innings.

The losing pitcher was Nick Blackburn(1-1). He was knocked around,
surrendering 5 runs in 3 innings.
