WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Matt Holliday robbed Michael Cuddyer of a Homerun!
 
Shortstop Brendan Harris had 2 base hits and Nick Blackburn had a strong
outing as the Minnesota Twins defeated the Oakland A's by a score of 3 to 2
at Metrodome.
 
Minnesota took the lead for keeps in the bottom of the 3rd inning plating an
isolated run.  That early scoring was all that Blackburn(1-1) needed.
Neither team managed to score after the 3rd inning.  
 
Matt Guerrier earned the save, his 1st.  Gio Gonzalez(0-2) was hit with the
loss.  He pitched 7 innings and surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks.
