Twins Prevail, 5-4, Over Florida
Minnesota right-hander Pedro Astacio made an effective start against the Florida Marlins at Metrodome, leading his team to a 5-4 win. Bob Ayrault got the save, his 4th in 7 chances. The Twins raised their record to 58-61.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 3rd and one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when shortstop Mark Grudzielanek, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1994 draft, grounded out, driving in 1 run. The Twins went on to win.

"It was a good effort all around," said Grudzielanek.
