Gil Meche won in his return from the DL after allowing four runs in five innings against the Twins on Thursday.
Joe Mauer knocked in all four of those runs with a double and a homer. Incredibly, the Kansas City bullpen held on to a one-run lead for four innings to get Meche the decision in a 5-4 game. Give much of the credit to Nick Punto, who struck out bunting with two on and none out in the bottom of the sixth. After another walk to load the bases, Orlando Cabrera grounded into an inning-ending double play. Meche is 5-9 with a 4.62 ERA.
