Appier Sensational for Pirates
Pittsburgh starter Kevin Appier put a stranglehold on the Minnesota offense. The right-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Pirates to a 3-1 win. The Twins, at 42-54, have lost 5 straight games.

Appier, the winner, is now 12-5 after putting the clamps on the Minnesota offense. In 8.2 innings of work, he gave up 1 earned run on 8 hits, while collecting 13 Ks.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Appier said.
