Minnesota Twins starter Clayton Richard turned in an exceptional performance against the Cincinnati Reds at Target Field, resulting in a Minnesota win, 2-1. The winning pitcher was Richard, now 2-2. He tossed 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 6. A.J. Ramos was credited with the save for Minnesota, his 2nd of the season.

In the bottom of the 6th, center fielder Adam Jones gave Minnesota the lead when he hit a 2-run single. The Twins had been trailing 1-0, but the two-out single off Cincinnati pitcher Josh Smoker changed that -- and Minnesota went on to win.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Jones. "And not try to do too much."

The Twins are off to a tough start, getting just their 10th win in 26 games.
