Twins Win in Extras
Minnesota right-hander Hideo Nomo made an effective start against the St. Louis Cardinals at Metrodome, leading his team to a 5-4 win. Minnesota, now 2-1, has played well in the early going.

Minnesota took a 5-4 lead on Brent Gates's 4th hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Gates hit in the bottom of the tenth, left St. Louis pitcher Rusty Meacham shaking his head.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach. "It's usually not just one thing."
