Minneapolis ? The Minnesota Twins are running out of healthy players and finding a way to win at the same time. Credit the confidence they gained during their pre-All-Star-break surge.

Justin Morneau’s bases-loaded bloop single scored two of Minnesota’s four runs in the fourth inning, and the Twins beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 6-3, Monday night for their fourth straight victory.

Scott Baker (3-5) gave up three runs in six innings in his return to the rotation, and the Twins improved their major-league-leading home record to 34-11.

Their ninth consecutive victory over the Devil Rays, dating to July 21, 2004, was also their 26th in their last 33 games overall. Rondell White added a two-run single in the ninth, and Joe Nathan finished up for his 17th save.

“It’s a little bit different right now, because we’re not as healthy as we were,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “But guys are playing. It’s pretty fun on the bench. Guys are loose, and we’re laughing about things. … No one’s panicking, and I think that’s the feeling you have to have.”
