Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Three go-ahead runs scored on Danny Valencias single in the seventh inning, lifting Minnesota to a 9-7 comeback win over Milwaukee in the rubber match of a three-game interleague set. . Phil Dumatrait (1-1) earned the victory with a scoreless inning of relief and the Twins won for the fourth time in five games. Glen Perkins got the final two outs of the contest to receive the first save of his career. Kameron Loe (2-7) allowed the deciding runs to cross the plate in the seventh inning. Mark Kotsay hit a solo homer and a two-run triple, but also had a costly error in the Brewers fifth loss in six games. Neither starter was very effective. Zack Greinke went six innings, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on five hits and two walks while striking out nine for Milwaukee and Nick Blackburn allowed six runs on six hits and a walk through four innings for Minnesota.

Jim Thome worked a two-out walk in the fourth and Valencia followed with a double before Rene Tosoni smacked a three-run homer to right that pulled the Twins within two.

Tosoni struck out to end the inning, but not before the Twins had taken a 9-7 lead. I think the balls were hit too hard for me to say that I pitched well. I know they were only singles, but I got the ball up a little bit. Im supposed to come in and get an out there and I didnt do the job, said Loe. Matt Capps entered in the ninth to try and finish off the win, but after singles by Weeks and Corey Hart put runners on first and second with one out, he was replaced by Perkins.

Minnesota struck first when Thome hammered the first pitch of the bottom of the second inning over the right-field fence. The Brewers answered in the third inning on Kotsays second-pitch homer into the right-center field bleachers, his first of the season. Milwaukee then took the lead with a five-run fourth. Nyjer Morgan led off with a single into the left-center gap and went all the way to third after his wide turn at first base forced second baseman Alexei Casilla to throw the ball into the dugout. After an intentional walk to Fielder put runners on the corners with one out, Mat Gamel laced an RBI double just out of the reach of Tosoni in the gap. Yuniesky Betancourts hard grounder to short that Tsuyoshi Nishioka couldnt handle scored Fielder. Kotsay then blasted a triple high off the right-field fence to bring in Gamel and Betancourt, and Jonathan Lucroy slapped a single through the right-side of the infield to score Kotsay and make it a 6-1 contest.
