    Justin Morneau understood why Indians manager Manny Acta intentionally walked Jason Kubel to load the bases for him in the fifth inning on Saturday.

    Kubel was one of the few Minnesota Twins swinging the bat well and Morneau was hitting .200 and playing for the first time since missing five games with a nasty bout of the flu.

    There was plenty of baseball logic behind the decision. That doesn't mean Morneau had to like it.

    Morneau's big two-run single in the fifth helped the Twins break out of a season-long offensive slump in a 10-3 victory over Cleveland.
