In those two outings, he allowed 12 hits and eight runs in eight innings. With the Twins in p |

And the Twins did just that, riding the right arm of young starter Nick Blackburn to a 3-0 win on Saturday, then escaping with a 2-1 win on Sunday thanks to Justin Morneau's walk-off single in the 10th inning.
