| Minneapolis, MN (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Twins righthander Nick Blackburn left Sunday's 5-1 win against the New York Yankees after he was hit in the face by a line drive by Bobby Abreu.

He did not lose consciousness and X-rays taken later proved negative. Blackburn had given up one run on five hits in 4 1/3 innings of work b |
