Twins Suffer Blowout Loss to Mariners
The Minnesota Twins took it on the chin, losing 12-2 to the Seattle Mariners. Rick Kreuger pitched a strong game for Seattle. Kreuger picked up the win for Seattle, going 6 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 3-0. Early on, the Mariners, at 16-3, have played an impressive brand of baseball.

Seattle relied on the bat of James Rich to get the win. The shortstop ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mariners ahead, 5-0. For the game, Rich had 1 double and 1 home run in 6 at-bats.

Minnesota manager Steven Luker called the blowout loss "a real stinker."
