Brewers tap Cameron for win

The Twins' two-game road winning streak is history as Mike Cameron's two-run jack lifted Milwaukee to a 4-2 victory.

Scott Baker was the loser, but he pitched pretty well, allowing just three runs -- including the Cameron homer -- in six innings. The bullpen was a problem, with Boof Bonser allowing a run (and getting just one guy out). Way to go, Boof. Bonser's ERA is 6.45 and Brian Bass's is 5.28. Keep a watch on those two guys -- they might be headed for the minors. Especially Bonser.

But the real story was that Scottt McClung baffled the Twins' hitters, allowing only four hits. No one had a multi-hit game for the Twins, but Jason Kubel hit a homer, his 10th. He's raised his average to .257.

Michael Cuddyer's still in a slump. He was hitless in two at-bats and his average slid to .245. Ouch. Also slumping is shortstop Brendan Harris, hitting .235, though he did get a hit Sunday.

Now we've got a race in the AL Central. The White Sox have lost two in a row and are four and a half up on the Twins, five and a half on the Indians and six on the Tigers, who have won six straight. Watch out for Detroit. They're on a roll.

Milwaukee is eight and a half games behind the Cubs in the NL Central. The Cardinals are three and a half back of the Cubs, who have the best record in baseball at 45-25.
