Marlins Come Back Late to Clip Twins
Spirited fans at Metrodome greeted the Minnesota Twins for their clash with the Florida Marlins.

The Florida Marlins picked up a win at Metrodome, knocking off the Minnesota Twins, 7-2. Starting pitcher Kevin Appier was an essential part of his team's success. The Marlins, at 71-49, lead by one game in their division.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 2nd and two out in the top of the seventh inning. That's when catcher Charles Johnson, who is tied for 7th in the FL in total bases with 237, drew a walk. The Marlins went on to win.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Appier.
