MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Correia was solid in his Minnesota debut against the Tigers and the Twins won their first game of the 2013 season, 3-2, in walk-off fashion with a game-winning two-run double from Eduardo Escobar on Wednesday at Target Field.
Escobar’s big hit came with one out against Tiger left-hander Phil Coke in the ninth inning. It scored pinch-runner Jamey Carroll and Brian Dozier, who had singled with one out.

I’m having a baby
On January 4, 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers purchased a Convair 440 Metropolitan aircraft, becoming the first major league baseball team to buy and operate an aircraft to transport its players.
The Dodgers owner at the time, Walter O’Malley had a strong relationship with Eastern Air Lines president Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, the former American World War I flying ace. The friendship between the two men allowed O’Malley to piggyback onto an Eastern Air Lines order for 20 Convair 440 aircraft and thus to get the plane directly off the line from the Convair factory in San Diego.
