3-Game Sweep!

After playing a putride 4 game series versus the Toronto Blue Jays where they managed only 1 victory, and lost badly in the last two games of the series, the Minnesota Twins completed a 3 game sweep of of Los Angles Angel of Anaheim. The highlight of the weekend, and probably highlight of the Twins young season came Friday night when Deignated Hitter Jason Kubel went 4 for 5 and hit for the cycle, his last hit the most dramtic and game winning grand slam that wrapped up a Twins seven run eighth inning.
Jason Kubel entered the weekend hitting just over .220, but went 8 for 10 combined Friday and Saturday night, raising his average to over .300. In all three victories the Twins came from behind and to date they still have not started the game and held on to the lead throughout, which has brought much excitement to the Metrodome during it's last season and Friday night may have been the most electric moment of the season.
Sundays finale featured anoth 8 inning performance by U of M alum Glen Perkins where he won his first decision of the season although he has been the most consistent starter for the Twins going 8 innings in all three of his starts while keeping his era to under 2.00.
A turning point like Kubel grand slam may be what the Twins needed as they were facing an early skid last week and trailed 9-2 going into the late innings Friday night, but Kubel's home run provided the fuel they needed and the team kept it going through the weekend and the Twins are now back to .500 with a 7-7 record.
