Final
Streaking Twins aim for fifth straight win
Jun 15, 2007 - 3:16 PM Milwaukee (36-30) at Minnesota (33-61) 8:10 pm EDTMINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Twins will try to push their winning streak to five games when they open a weekend interleague series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.
The Twins are seeking their first five-game winning streak of the season after taking a three-game set from the Atlanta Braves, including Thursday's come-from-behind win in the ninth inning.
The Twins will send Scott Baker (1-1, 6.45 ERA) to the hill in the series opener. The righthander struggled in his last outing, surrendering five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings on June 5.
Baker will try to make it two straight wins against the Brewers, tossing 8 1/3 strong frames after getting called up from Class AAA Rochester on May 19.
Claudio Vargas (4-1, 3.94) gets the call for Milwaukee, which rebounded to take two of three from the reigning American League champion Detroit Tigers following Justin Verlander's no-hitter.
In his last start, Vargas allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings in a 7-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs on June 5. He is 0-1 with a 7.82 ERA in three career games against the Twins.
