Twins triumph with back-to-back homers

It gave the Twins their second straight win over the Angels after starting out the season with nine straight losses. Closer Kevin Jepsen threw a scoreless ninth to get his second consecutive save.

Both starting pitchers didn't factor into the decision, as Twins right-hander Ricky Nolasco went seven innings, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks, and Angels right-hander Jered Weaver lasted 4 1/3 innings, surrendering four runs on eight hits and two walks.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED

Plouffe, there it is: After scoring the winning run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels, Trevor Plouffe kept it going on Saturday.
