Twins look to lock up a series win vs. Devil Rays
Apr 15, 2007 - 3:38 PM Tampa Bay (4-7) at Minnesota (7-4), 2:10 pm EDTMINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - The Minnesota Twins finally broke out of their offensive slump on Saturday. They'll look for more of the same against Jae Seo on Sunday.
The Twins finish up their seven-game homestand Sunday when they host the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the finale of a four-game series.
Minnesota had managed 16 runs in its past seven games before exploding for 12 against the Devil Rays Saturday night. Torii Hunter drove in three runs and Justin Morneau and Michael Cuddyer each plated a pair in the win.
Boof Bonser (0-1, 6.97 ERA) will take the mound in front of the home fans looking to improve on his last start. The second-year righthander surrendered seven runs - six earned - in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against the Yankees to take the loss.
Seo (0-1, 9.64) will oppose Bonser for Tampa Bay. The righthanded Seo has had a hard time getting outs this season, yielding 15 runs - 10 earned - and 19 hits in 9 1/3 innings.
The Devil Rays have been getting consistent production from their young hitters. Rookie Delmon Young has hit safely in all 11 games this season and 22-year-old B.J. Upton is third in the American League with a .394 batting average.
