7 Straight Wins for Twins
Minnesota first baseman Frank Thomas had 3 ribbies while helping his team defeat the New York Yankees, 9-5. Pedro Astacio got credit for the win, improving to 7-10. He allowed 4 runs on 4 hits in 6.1 innings. The current losing streak for New York has reached 7 games.

Minnesota used the clutch hitting of Geronimo Berroa to capture the win. The left fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to give the Twins the lead, 2-0. For the game, Berroa had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said New York manager Patrick McQuail.
