Baseball / Clutch hit lifts Twins
By The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS - Justin Morneau came through with yet another clutch hit, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox yesterday with a two-out RBI double in the seventh inning.

Nick Blackburn (2-1) wasn't sharp, but he lasted seven innings, allowing only three runs to give the Twins consecutive victories by starting pitchers for the first time in 18 days.

Nick Swisher walked on four pitches to start the game and scored on Jim Thome's double, then delivered a two-out single in the fifth to give the White Sox a brief 3-2 lead.

That hit was their only success with runners in scoring position, leaving them 1-for-6 for the afternoon and 5-for-43 in their last five games.

Morneau hit a high pitch from Boone Logan to deep left-center to drive in Carlos Gomez for the go-ahead run in the seventh, to hang the loss on reliever Ehren Wasserman (0-1).

After Blackburn - who gave up eight hits, three runs and two walks while striking out four - departed, Dennys Reyes struck out Thome, and Pat Neshek struck out Jermaine Dye and Carlos Quentin.

Also yesterday, Braden Looper worked six solid innings and Rick Ankiel had three hits and two RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals hand Aaron Harang another tough luck loss with a 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

Aaron Miles had a pair of RBI singles, and Jason Isringhausen earned his ninth save in 11 chances for the Cardinals.
