Pirates Lose to Twins, 3-2
Minnesota Twins starter Jameson Taillon turned in an exceptional performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, resulting in a Minnesota win, 3-2. At 3-1, the Twins have played well so far.

It could have been a different outcome for Minnesota, had it not been for Ian Kinsler, the four-time All-Star . Kinsler contributed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put Minnesota up, 3-1.

Afterward, Twins manager Al Wehr was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
