| Minnesota averts the sweep and get the win in a dramatic way. In the bottom of the 9th with Raul Ibanez (who had doubled) at third base for the Phillies and one out with a 4-3 Twins lead, shortstop Wilson Valdez flies out to left fielder Delmon Young for the second out. While Ibanez isn't the fastest guy in the world, on a 1-12 sac fly chance I decided to go for it to get a tie. A 16 comes up, Ibanez out at home for the final out, game over. All scoring against the starters, with exactly opposite records but not in the order you might think. Winner - Carl Pavano (8-4), loser - Roy Halladay (4-8)! As we know, former Sox phenom Pavano's main claims to fame are being in the trade in 1997 that bought Pedro to Boston and giving up Mark McGwire's 70th homerun in 1998, Pavano's rookie year with Les Expos. As for the so far big bust Halladay (from the next province to the west), his struggles continue in his new home as he loses his fourth straight start. |

The Minnesota Twins and the Philadelphia Phillies locked up in an exciting
one-run game at Citizen's Bank Park. The final score was the Minnesota Twins
4, the Philadelphia Phillies 3.
Carl Pavano(8-4) had a steady outing. He went 6 and 1/3 innings allowing 8
hits and 1 walk. Philadelphia made it exciting in the 9th, but they were
unable to push the needed runs across.
Pavano was helped out by Alex Burnett who recorded his 2nd save. Roy
Halladay(4-8) was the loser. He pitched 6 innings and surrendered 10 hits
and no walks.
'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it
was nothing.' Pavano said. 'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't put
the ball where I wanted it.'
