Twins Dispose of Cardinals, 12-2
The Minnesota Twins stopped the St. Louis Cardinals, 12-2, at Metrodome. The Twins got a big game from Larry Walker, who was 3 for 5 with a triple and a double, while scoring 3 runs. The Cardinals fall to 5-8 and continue their uninspiring start to the 1998 season.

Brent Gates had a big 2-run double for the Twins in the bottom of the first inning. With Minnesota leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Jay Tibbs and stroked the double to right-center. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 3-0.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Twins manager Darren Fischbach. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."
