A poor performance Thursday against the Rays did not prevent Twins ace Ricky Nolasco from nailing down his second victory.
Nolasco benefited from an offensive explosion to snag the win despite giving up six runs on 10 hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out one.
The right-hander, who owns a 6.67 earned run average, will seek to lower it Wednesday against the visiting Dodgers.
