On Tuesday night against Colorado, the 32nd sellout crowd of the season saw small ball make its debut in the great outdoors.The Twins dinked and dunked their way Metrodome-style to five runs in the fourth inning and Carl Pavano pitched seven strong innings in a 9-3 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday night.Mauer and Morneau combined to go 1 for 9 in the game, but light hitters Danny Valencia, Nick Punto and Matt Tolbert picked up the slack, combining to go 5 for 9 with a homer, four walks and three RBIs."It's definitely nice," Valencia said. "The guys at the top of the order are normally the ones doing all the damage. It's nice to help out."Pavano (7-6) struck out five and walked one, going at least seven innings for the 10th time in 13 starts this year.Aar...The Minnesota Twins have placed right-hander Scott Baker on the disabled list with an elbow strain, one day before a huge home series against division-leading Clevel...
