 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - In a game as well pitched as this one, even Jeff Cirillo thought it was a bit of a shame to win it the way he did. Gimpy knees and all, Cirillo limped off the bench and blooped a bases-loaded single in the 12th inning to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
"I almost feel a little guilty because the ball fell," Cirillo said. "It was a flukey hit, but you know, I'll take it."
With the count 1-2, Cirillo hit a flare to shallow center field off lefty Brian Tallet (2-2). Vernon Wells and shortstop John McDonald both dived for the ball, but it landed just in front of Wells and allowed Michael Cuddyer to score.
