The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Metrodome, knocking off the Florida Marlins, 6-4. Starting pitcher Hideo Nomo played a key role in the triumph. Minnesota currently is in 4th place in the Federal League Central Division at 29-33.

Koji Akiyama had a big 2-run single for the Twins in the bottom of the second inning. With Minnesota leading 3-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Wilson Alvarez and stroked the single to right-center. It was his 43rd hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 5-0.

Akiyama called the triumph "a good team win."
