    Brian Duensing gave the Minnesota bullpen another chance, and this time the result was a victory.

    Duensing allowed two runs over seven innings, Matt Tolbert had an RBI triple and the Twins stopped a four-game skid with a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

    "We needed a big start," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It's about time we won a ballgame. We actually played well enough in this series to win three ballgames [out of four] and we only come out of here with one. We'll take the one today."

    Duensing (1-0) scattered seven hits, walked two and struck out five.
