Florida first baseman Richie Sexson had 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Minnesota Twins, 11-4. Florida goes to 63-33. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.

Mark Kotsay put Florida in front, 5-0, when he took Hideo Nomo downtown. His 2-run home run came with two out in the bottom of the first. It was his 11th home run of the season.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Sexson.
