Twins Win at Cincinnati, 5-3
Minnesota starter Juan Guzman had a strong outing against the Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. The Reds fall to 14-16 and continue their uneasy start to the 1997 season.

One significant at-bat for Minnesota came with the bases loaded in the top of the second. Twins first baseman Frank Thomas drew a walk, driving in 1 run, which helped Minnesota go on to win.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Thomas told reporters after the game.
