Knights Lose, 9-6, at Metrodome
It was a fun time at Metrodome, where the Charlotte Knights and Minnesota Twins tangled.

The Minnesota Twins stopped the Charlotte Knights, 9-6, behind an impressive performance from Larry Walker. The four-time All-Star made life miserable for Charlotte pitching. He went 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Losses have been few and far between for the Knights so far this season. Their record drops to 11-5.

There was more than one reason the Twins beat the Knights, but Walker's big at-bat in the bottom of the fourth was an important factor. He staked his team to a 6-5 lead when he hit a run-scoring single.

"We played hard and won," said Walker. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
