Devil Rays Lose to Twins in Walk Off
In a low-scoring affair between the Minnesota Twins and the Orlando Devil Rays, pitcher Eddie Perez was the difference between victory and defeat. The Minnesota right-hander earned player of the game honors in the 3-2 Twins win. The winner was Minnesota reliever Trevor Hoffman, now 5-4. The loser was Alan Embree. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Twins.

Brent Gates was the walk-off hero for Minnesota. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins second baseman hit a dramatic solo home run to send the teams home.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Orlando manager Ben Tennyson, "let me know."
