Morneau hit the go-ahead single in the eighth inning to cap a three-hit night and carry Minnesota to a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. "Right now I still feel like Im having productive at-bats and still helping us win ball games," said Morneau, who is hitting .297 and leads the Twins with 36 RBIs.

The Twins entered Tuesday with just four hits in their past 50 at-bats with runners in scoring position, but got three hits in clutch situations against Philadelphia. "Watching TV, we saw the numbers scrolling across. They werent very good," Morneau said. "To be able to come through in that situation is good for everybody.

Josh Willingham fouled out before Morneau fouled off four straight pitches and lined a single up the middle off Antonio Bastardo to give Minnesota the lead.

Cole Hamels had a 1-0 lead in the fourth before Willingham, Morneau and Oswaldo Arcia doubled to give Minnesota the lead. Hamels allowed two runs and struck out five over six innings. The Phillies have won only two of Hamels 14 starts. "I probably threw a couple pitches at the wrong time for what they were looking for and they were able to put them in play," Hamels said. Arcias double short-hopped the wall and landed just out of the reach of Ben Revere, who had his back to the infield and leaped toward the ball at the last second. Revere was traded to Philadelphia from Minnesota in the off-season. The speedy centre fielder made spectacular catches at Target Field to take away similar hits last season.
