On May 16, 2010, exactly one year ago today, Jason Kubel belted a grand slam off Mariano Rivera as part of a five-run eighth inning, helping the Twins win 6-3 at Yankee Stadium to improve to 23-14 on the season. Justin Morneau also homered in the game -- his ninth of the season at that point, more than double what any Twins player has this year, nine times what Morneau has this year and half of the entire team's total through 38 games this year.

Nick Blackburn picked up the victory, his fourth of the season -- twice as many as any Twins pitcher this year.

Jon Rauch gave up a pair of hits in the ninth but then struck out the side for his 10th save -- twice as many as any Twins pitcher this year.

Joe Mauer didn't have any hits, dropping his batting average to .349. He did have a pair of walks, however.

The first seven batters in the order went like this: Span, Hudson, Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, Thome, Kubel.
