CINCINNATI, Ohio -- A pair of Twins had four hits apiece. The bullpen got one huge out after another. One friendly fan even offered manager Ron Gardenhire a hot dog during the game. Minnesotas first game at Great American Ball Park had a lot to like -- even without mustard and ketchup. Ryan Doumit and Ben Revere each had four hits Friday night in a 5-4 victory that gave the Cincinnati Reds their season-high fourth straight loss. The teams played five straight seasons from 1997-2001, but hadnt met since then. The Twins were braced for a wild first game at Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. They got it. "Fun ballgame," Gardenhire said. "First time weve been here. Very exciting atmosphere, except for the guy wanting to feed me a hot dog. That wasnt great. "He just came down in the stands, trying to hand me a hot dog. I think he thinks Im too big. It was a nice gesture. Wished I could have taken it." Instead, they took the opener of the interleague series. Doumit hit a solo shot off Homer Bailey (5-5), who angrily left the field after failing to get through the sixth inning. Revere broke an 0-for-15 slump with four singles. Chris Heisey and Scott Rolen had two-run homers off Twins starter Nick Blackburn (4-4), who lasted only five innings. Plate umpire Jerry Layne left in the fourth after the barrel of a broken bat hit him on the left side of the head. The 23-year veteran fell on his back, got to his feet with help and went for tests at a hospital that came back normal. "I heard the sound when it hit his mask," said Doumit, who was catching. "It was awfully loud. Thats scary." Revere, who grew up in neighbouring Kentucky and had more than two dozen friends and family in the stands, also stole two bases, scored a run and had a sacrifice fly off Bill Bray that made it 5-4 in the sixth. It was his second career four-hit game. After a rough series in Pittsburgh, Revere was glad for the change in venue. "I had a pretty big cheering section tonight," he said. "I was just glad to get out of Pittsburgh (where) Id hit it pretty hard up the middle and theyd snag it." Doumits four hits also matched his career high. Minnesotas bullpen made it stand up. Alex Burnett escaped a bases-loaded, one-out threat in the sixth. Glen Perkins gave up a pair of singles in the ninth, but escaped with a pair of strikeouts for his second save in place of Matt Capps, sidelined since June 15 by a sore shoulder. "I made the pitches when I had to," Perkins said. "Sometimes you win ugly." Three of the Reds losses during their skid have been by one run. "We had chances big-time," manager Dusty Baker said. "Were piling up the one-run losses this last week. Those are games we couldve won if we make one pitch or get one hit." Minnesotas biggest concern was whether its starters would get rocked in a ballpark where homers are the norm. Theres been at least one hit in each of the last 60 games, the longest current streak in the majors. The Twins pitching staff has allowed a major league-leading 95 homers -- 68 by the starters. Eight pitches into the game, Blackburn gave up a two-run shot to Heisey. Blackburn has allowed at least one first-inning run in eight of his 11 starts. Doumits first homer since May 8 put the Twins up 3-2 in the fourth inning. Rolen, playing his fourth game since returning from a stint on the disabled list with a bum shoulder, hit his first homer since April 26, putting the Reds back ahead 4-3 in the fourth. Bailey left after walking the bases loaded on his 106th pitch in the sixth inning, shaking his head in disagreement when Baker came to the mound. Bailey threw his cap on the ground in the dugout, then grabbed one of his bats from the rack and headed for the walkway to vent his frustration out of sight. Bray relieved and walked in the tying run, then gave up a sacrifice fly by Revere that made it 5-4. NOTES: The Twins are 8-8 in interleague play this season. The Reds are 6-7. ... Twins C Joe Mauer caught in the bullpen without a problem and pinch hit in the sixth, drawing a walk. He was replaced by a pinch runner.

His coach told him to stay at the hotel and take it easy. The Knicks star forward will get even more rest Thursday night, thanks to the NBA. Less than 24 hours after Anthony was given a one-game suspension for Mondays confrontation with Kevin Garnett, the Knicks were preparing to face Indiana without their leading scorer. Amare Stoudemire is expected to play only about 20 minutes as he continues to work his way back from knee surgery. No, this is not how New York wanted to go into a nationally-televised game against the Central Division leaders. But Anthonys suspension left them no choice. "Im sure hes disappointed, but again it happened and we cant go back," Woodson told reporters. "Hes got to live with it, and hell rebound from it. Carmelo is a true pro and hell deal with it." Anthony contended he went toward the Celtics locker room after losing to Boston and later waited for Garnett outside Bostons team bus because he wanted to discuss Garnetts choice of words during a fourth-quarter altercation. Anthony had said he didnt believe he would be suspended because he said he was just looking to talk to Garnett. NBA executive vice-president of operations Stu Jackson ruled otherwise. Woodson learned of the decision Wednesday night, after the team arrived in Indy to face one of the leagues hottest teams. Indiiana is 11-3 in its last 14 games and beat defending champion Miami 77-67 on Tuesday.dddddddddddd "Weve got to move on and live for the next day," Woodson said. "Theres not a whole lot we can do as an organization." The options are complicated by Stoudemires situation. After playing a season-high 28 minutes in Mondays loss to Boston, Stoudemire reportedly experienced soreness in his surgically-repaired left knee. Woodson acknowledged Thursday that he would closely monitor Stoudemires minutes against the Pacers -- even though Stoudemire seemed undeterred by that notion. Hes expected to play about 20 minutes. "I think it was more having three games in four nights. I just dont want to overdo anything," Stoudemire said. "Well see how it is tonight. Carmelos out, so I might get more minutes." The Pacers expect to see the Knicks make some adjustments. For instance, swingman Paul George said he believes New York will go to guys like J.R. Smith and Jason Kidd more often and will take more than 3-point shots than usual. But even without Anthony, the Pacers believe this game will be every bit as tough as they thought it would with Anthony. "Theyre different but every bit as lethal," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "They being first in the East is as much about Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd and the experience they have as it is about Carmelo Anthony." ' ' '
