The Minnesota Twins rode a solid performance from 27-year-old starting pitcher David Festa to a win, beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-1, at Target Field. Minnesota is now 24-17, St. Louis 23-17.

Carlos Correa's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with a runner on 2nd and the game tied, 1-1. The Minnesota shortstop hit a run-scoring single off Dylan Lee to put the Twins up.

"Winning is not something we take for granted," Correa said.
