Twins Topple Devil Rays with Late Rally
Minnesota starter Hideo Nomo pitched effectively against the Orlando Devil Rays at Metrodome. The right-hander led his team to a 5-3 win. Minnesota reliever Jerry Spradlin picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Xavier Hernandez took the loss. The Twins, now 15-18, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

Minnesota designated hitter Kal Daniels had a key at-bat for the Twins in the bottom of the eighth inning. Facing right-hander Xavier Hernandez, Daniels hit a 2-run home run. It put Minnesota in front, 5-3. For the day, Daniels was 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2.

"We did a lot of things right," said Daniels.
