 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The day after his wife gave birth, Carlos Silva found his new son a welcomed distraction from the usual pitching jitters. "Most of the time, it's game, game, game, game. Today, it was game, baby, baby, baby, baby," Silva said after throwing his second career shutout in Minnesota's 6-0 victory over Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Torii Hunter dropped down a rare bunt for an RBI single and later hit the last of his team's three home runs, helping Silva and the Twins hand the Braves the eighth loss in their last 11 games.
Lew Ford went deep and Justin Morneau hit a two-run shot to support Silva (4-7), who was coming off his worst start of the season — a nine-hit, seven-run, three-inning disaster last week.
