Twins Subdue Pittsburgh, 3-1
The Twins had to overcome a fine performance from Pittsburgh pitcher Steve Trachsel to grab a 3-1 win at Three Rivers Stadium. Trachsel allowed 3 earned runs over 8 innings. Minnesota, at 38-60, sits in 5th place in the Federal League Central Division.

Minnesota used the bat of Jose Oliva to get the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Twins ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Oliva told the Minnesota Today. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
