In the second game Butts threw 6 2-3 innings, allowing four hits, one walk and one earned run. He also struck out four, and helped his cause with a double in the third inning that scored Kroger and Stevyn Andrachick for a 2-0 lead.

The A Mavs actually outhit Glacier 4-3, but the visitors had four errors, one coming in the Twins’ 2-run sixth inning.

Maddux Muller recorded the final out for a save for the Twins (11-1), who head to Helena today for the Cloninger Classic that begins Thursday.
