Dean outshines Hernandez as Twins down Mariners (Yahoo Sports)

Pat Dean was making his second big league start, pitching for a Twins team that had four road victories and was facing Seattle ace Felix Hernandez before a revved-up Mariners crowd of more than 40,000. Robbie Grossman's bases-loaded double keyed a five-run third and Dean pitched effectively for seven innings for his first major league victory to pace Minnesota past the Mariners 7-2 on Friday night. Dean (1-1), allowed two runs on four hits, striking out eight and walking none in his second start and fourth appearance since being called up May 11.
