Season Record: 28-29

Up Next: Mariners (3:10 CT, 6/7)

A night after winning a one-run game in Seattle, the Twins dropped one. On Friday the Twins took advantage of an error by the Mariners to win 2-1, and less than 24 hours later, the Mariners used two eighth inning hits to knock off the Twins by the exact same score. Nick Blackburn turned in another quality start for Minnesota, but a lack of offense moved the Twins league-worst road record to 7-17.

Season Record: 26-28

Up Next: Indians (12:10 CT, 6/4)

It wasn't quite as easy for Anthony Swarzak in his third trip to the mound; after breezing through his previous two outings rather easily, Swarzak hit his first road-bump in the majors. The 23-year old rookie lasted only four innings, allowing nine hits and five runs as the Twins fell to the Cleveland Indians 10-1 in the second game of a three-game set at the Metrodome.
