Baseball Betting Lines
07/31/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Slowey threw eight shutout innings to outduel Seattle's Felix Hernandez and keep the Twins rolling in a 4-0 victory.
Slowey (10-5) gave up three hits, struck out five and didn't walk a batter to pitch Minnesota to its seventh consecutive win.
Joe Mauer had three hits, scored twice and had an RBI, while Delmon Young tripled and drove in a pair for the victors.
Hernandez (7-8) went seven innings and allowed three runs -- all in the first frame -- on a total of seven hits and a walk to go with four strikeouts. The Mariners have dropped six straight overall.
Three straight hitters followed Alexi Casilla's one-out triple in the first frame with run-scoring hits. Mauer's single preceded Young's three-bagger to right, and Jim Thome made it a 3-0 game with a double to left.
Slowey retired 12 straight after Casey Kotchman's two-out single in the opening frame, then sat down seven in a row following Josh Bard's two-out double in the fifth.
Michael Saunders was stranded at second after his leadoff double in the top of the eighth, and the Twins tacked on an insurance run off Jamey Wright in the bottom half via Young's RBI base hit back through the middle.
Twins reliever Jose Mijares finished off the shutout in the ninth.
