Kubel had a big day at the plate.  He cracked a solo homerun in the 4th inning
and popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 6th inning.  Minnesota had 9
hits for the afternoon.  
 
Slowey(1-0), allowing 1 run for the game, picked up the victory. Rick
Porcello(1-2) suffered the loss.  He served up 3 homeruns in his 6 innings.
 
John Thomas was asked about the performance of Slowey, 'He had his good stuff
out there this afternoon.  The fans really get into it when the strikeouts
start mounting up - and that seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
