Wallner Stars in 12-3 Twins Win
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Minnesota Twins coasted to a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-3. Matt Wallner had a good day at the plate for Minnesota. He slugged 3 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored three times. The Twins saw their record improve to 37-29.

Minnesota relied on the hitting of Wilson Maldonado to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Twins on top, 5-3. For the game, Maldonado had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"We had that killer instinct," Wallner said after the game.
