Cirillo's walk-off single lifts Twins* ======================================= <h3>MINNESOTA 2, TORONTO 1 (12 INNINGS)</h3>MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Jeff Cirillo made the Toronto BlueJays' strategy backfire. Cirillo delivered a walk-off single with two outs in the 12thinning to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 2-1 victory over theBlue Jays. After Toronto intentionally walked Mike Redmond to load thebases, Cirillo came up as a pinch hitter and blooped a singleoff Brian Tallet (2-2) just under the dive of Blue Jays centerfielder Vernon Wells to plate Michael Cuddyer with the winningrun. It was the seventh career walk-off hit for Cirillo and firstsince September 21, 2005, denying Toronto's bid for aseason-high five-game winning streak. Juan Rincon (3-1) picked up the victory with one inning ofscoreless relief, capping a brilliant effort by the Twins'pitching staff. After starter Scott Baker worked seven-plus innings, fourrelievers combined on five innings of hitless relief. PatNeshek and closer Joe Nathan went two innings apiece, strikingout three each. Neither team scored until the bottom of the seventh inning asBaker and Blue Jays starter Shaun Marcum hooked up in a stirringduel. Baker had his best outing since May 19 - his first start of theseason. He struck out a career-best nine batters in seven-plusinnings, allowing a season-low one earned run and four hits. Baker retired the first nine batters he faced and allowed justone hit through five innings. Wells led off the fourth inning with a ground-rule double butwas stranded there after Baker induced a popout before strikingout Matt Stairs and Troy Glaus. Baker fanned four straight during his first time through theorder, and retired Glaus, Stairs and Greg Zaun on strikes twiceeach. Marcum was nearly as sharp, continuing his stretch of solidoutings since moving into the starting rotation. Marcum retiredseven straight Twins before allowing a one-out double to JasonTyner in the third inning. Joe Mauer reached second on an infield single and moved up abase on second baseman Aaron Hill's throwing in the fourthframe, but was stranded in scoring position. Marcum retired six straight following Mauer's hit, but LuisCastillo flared a one-out single to right field, only to beretired on Jason Bartlett's double-play ball back to the moundon a hit-and-run play. Adam Lind singled off Baker to start the sixth inning, moved tosecond on John McDonald's sacrifice bunt and advanced to thirdon Wells' fly out to right field, but Baker got Alex Rios tobounce out to end the threat. Glaus added a one-out single in the seventh, but was erased on aFrank Thomas double-play grounder. It was another step in the right direction for Baker, whoallowed two runs in five innings against the Mets in hisprevious start after having allowed 17 earned runs in only 131/3 innings over his three previous outings. The Twins then put together their seventh-inning rally, whichstarted with Cuddyer's one-out walk and a single by ToriiHunter. Jason Kubel then doubled down the right-field line,scoring Cuddyer to snap the scoreless tie. The Twins could have done more damage had not Hunter been thrownout at home on a double play. Redmond flew out to Rios inshallow right field with one out and Hunter broke for home. Thethrow was up the third base line, but Zaun swiped at Hunter andreplays show he grazed Hunter's hip for the out. Hunter argued the call, as did manager Ron Gardenhire, who waseventually ejected for the fourth time this season and 32nd timein his career. Toronto fought back in the eighth inning. Zaun walked on ninepitches and Hill singled, ending Baker's night. Lind sacrificedboth runners into scoring position off Dennys Reyes. The Twins then brought in Neshek, who gave up a deep fly ball topinch hitter Howie Clark for a sacrifice fly. Wells had achance to give the Blue Jays the lead in his next at-bat butflied out to deep center field, stranding Hill at third.
