Gil Meche (8-12) allowed five hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven with one walk to record his first win since July 20 at Detroit. Meche had been 0-6 with three no-decisions in his last nine starts.

Twins Starter Carlos Silva (11-14) took the loss, giving up three runs on five hits in two innings before leaving the game with a pulled right groin. It was Silva's shortest outing of the season.
