Blackburn, Fuentes shut out M's; Twins win third straight
Baseball Betting Lines
08/28/2010 -
Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nick Blackburn hurled 8 2/3 scoreless
innings and Denard Span drove in the lone run as Minnesota clipped Seattle,
1-0, in the middle test of three from Safeco Field.
Blackburn (8-8) yielded two hits to win for the first time since June 29, and
failed to allow a run in a start for the first time since May 9 against
Baltimore.
He retired 21 batters in succession from the second through the ninth and
finished with a season-high six strikeouts. Brian Fuentes made his Twins debut
a successful one, a four-pitch strikeout to notch his 24th save.
Delmon Young added two hits and Danny Valencia scored for the Twins, who have
won three in a row and extended their lead over Chicago in the AL Central to
four games. The White Sox and Yankees play later Saturday.
Russell Branyan and Jose Lopez collected the lone hits for the Mariners, who
suffered their sixth loss in seven.
Doug Fister (4-10) was the hard-luck loser as he scattered six hits and one
run over seven innings, fanning six with two walks.
Valencia singled to begin the Minnesota third, advanced on a J.J. Hardy double
and scored when Span followed with a base hit.
Meanwhile, Blackburn mowed down the Mariners lineup. He issued a one-out walk
in the second inning to Ryan Langerhans then didn't allow another baserunner
until a two-out walk to Chone Figgins in the ninth.
That signaled Fuentes' entrance -- his first with the Twins since being
acquired from the Angels on Friday -- against Branyan, striking him out
swinging to end the game.

right ankle sprain...Minnesota DH Jim Thome left the game with back
