Oswaldo Arcia's first home run gives Minnesota 4-3 win over Miami
MINNEAPOLIS, April 23 () -- Oswaldo Arcia hit a three-run shot Tuesday for his first major league home run that gave Minnesota 4-3 win over Miami in the first game of a doubleheader.With the Twins down 2-1, Chris Parmelee and Trevor Plouffe opened the Minnesota fourth with singles on the first two pitches of the inning. Arcia,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers damen[/url], who had just one hit in his career,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers jacken outlet[/url], pulled the next pitch well beyond the right-field wall for a three-run home run.That handed the loss to Jose Fernandez (0-2),[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers online shop[/url], who was changed with four runs and six hits in five innings.Kevin Correia (2-1) gave up two runs and five hits while walking one and striking out five over seven innings but had to sweat out an eighth-inning Marlins' rally before getting the win.Minnesota reliever Jared Burton allowed a single to Juan Pierre and then hit Placido Polanco and Giancarlo Stanton to load the bases. Greg Dobbs hit a line drive that went off Burton's glove but shortstop Pedro Florimon was able to reach and throw Dobbs out at first. A ground out then ended the threat. Glen Perkins came in the ninth and posted three strikeouts for his sixth save.Brian Dozier opened the Twins' first with a triple and scored on Justin Morneau's fielder's choice but Miami took the lead in the fourth with a two-run single by Joe Mahoney.Poor weather -- cold and snow -- forced the postponement of Monday's game, which was rescheduled as a day-night doubleheader for Tuesday.
