Erkan Leads Twins to 8-5 Win Over Rays
The Minnesota (GCL) Twins topped the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays by the score of 8-5, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Orkut Erkan. Erkan was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Twins. The winning pitcher was Stu Turner. He tossed 73 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits. The triumph makes Minnesota (GCL) 3-10.

Erkan had an important at-bat with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run single. The Twins went on to win.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Erkan. "And not try to do too much."
