MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Levale Speigner provided the spark the Minnesota Twins were eager for. The problem was that he was pitching for the other side.
Levale Speigner surprised his former employer by cruising through six innings, Ryan Zimmerman hit a three-run homer off Johan Santana, and the Washington Nationals beat the Twins 3-1 on Saturday night.
"I just wanted the kid to come out of that game on some kind of positive note," Nationals manager Manny Acta said, adding: "I thought it was going to get to him a little bit pitching against his old team and 40,000 people and going against Johan Santana. But he saved the best for today."
