MINNEAPOLIS — The Twins avoided matching their longest losing streak of the season at six games by taking down the Angels, 8-4, on Saturday.
The offense, which has been mostly subdued for the past month, stacked up 11 hits to the Angels' four in front of an announced crowd of 30,959 at Target Field.
The Twins struck early with three hits and two runs in the first inning off Angels starter Reid Detmers. Gio Urshela's RBI ground-rule double and a sacrifice fly from Gary Sanchez put them up early. Carlos Correa added an RBI single in the second to make it 3-0.
