CINCINNATI -- Phil Hughes is back.
So, it seems, is the Twins' missing offense.
The defense? We'll talk about that later, mister.
That combination made for an 8-5 interleague victory over the Cincinnati Reds on a soggy Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park.
Hughes (7-6) worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing just two earned runs on solo homers to Eugenio Suarez and Marlon Byrd. In winning his third straight start, Hughes also was charged with a pair of unearned runs in a messy seventh, but he still managed to turn in his fifth straight quality start.
