The Minnesota Twins have their first winning streak of the season with a 6-4 win over the Angels on Saturday afternoon.

3. In Plouffe we trust

Trevor Plouffe took to twitter earlier this week, telling fans to keep believing despite an 0-9 start to the season. After going 2-4 last night, Plouffe had another strong game going 3-4 with a home run, double and two runs batted in.
