The Minnesota Twins spoiled a good performance by Texas right fielder Andre Ethier, bumping off Texas, 11-10, at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Ethier was 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win puts Minnesota at 59-91.

Minnesota got a game-changing hit from Carlos Cruz. The third baseman blasted a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a winner.

"This joint was rocking," said Cruz.
