Santana Slugs Twins to 10-8 Win
Domingo Santana left his imprint on the 10-8 Minnesota win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Santana, who is tied for 10th in the AL in home runs with 6, was 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Reliever Andrew Vasquez picked up the win. His record improves to 1-1. Andres Munoz took the loss. Tommy Kahnle earned the save for Minnesota, his 3rd.

Minnesota needed the clutch hitting of Edwin Encarnacion to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Twins on top, 10-8. For the game, Encarnacion had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Encarnacion, "but we got it done."

The win puts Minnesota at 10-9.
