Minnesota overcame a superlative game from Ron Robinson to beat Charlotte, 3-2. The Charlotte pitcher took player of the game honors in a losing cause. He threw 8 innings of 3-hit ball. Minnesota starter Hideo Nomo was credited with the win after throwing 117 pitches over 7.1 innings. His record now stands at 7-10. Minnesota is 5th in the Federal League Central Division with a record of 60-76.

Minnesota took a 3-2 lead on Koji Akiyama's 24th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Charlotte pitcher Ron Robinson in the bottom of the seventh.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach said.
