Minnesota Decked, 5-2, by Panthers
The Carolina Panthers got a strong performance from pitcher Cruz Morales, who stymied the Minnesota offense en route to a win, 5-2, at Metrodome. Jason King was credited with the save for Carolina, his 13th of the season. Carolina, now 24-20, holds down first place in the National Conference South.

Carolina catcher Tony Gaxiola contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a changeup to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 28th hit of the season and put the Panthers ahead, 2-0.

Carolina manager Tim Breidinger called it "a pretty good win."
