Twins 9, Nationals 3: At Minneapolis, Michael Cuddyer hit a two-run triple and reached base all four times he batted, Glen Perkins won for the first time in five starts and Minnesota beat Washington. Five of 12 Twins’ hits were for extra bases.

Brewers 8, Blue Jays 7: At Milwaukee, Dave Bush took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning, and the Brewers barely held for a win over Toronto. Joe Inglett hit a two-out grand slam that highlighted the Blue Jays’ six-run rally in the ninth.

Rangers 5, Braves 4: At Arlington, Texas, Michael Young broke out of a deep slump with a game-ending RBI single, rookie Brandon Boggs hit a three-run homer and the Rangers rallied twice for a victory over Atlanta.
