2006 MLB World Series Game #6: LA @ Min. Minnesota Wins World Series!

 October 29, 2006 

  The Minnesota Twins have won the 2006 World Series! Minnesota won Game 6 tonight against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 6-3. The Dodgers scored first in the top of the 2nd but the Twins erupted for 5 runs in the bottom of the inning off LA starter Chad Billingsley. The big blow was a 2 out 2-run double hit by Michael Cuddyer. The Dodgers got 2 runs back in the 6th inning on Jeff Kent's homerun, chasing Twin's starter Boof Bosner from the game. Minnesota's bullpen shut LA down the rest of the way while the Twins added a run in the 8th inning to cap the scoring. Joe Nathan retired the side in order in the 9th to get the Save. 
   The Minnesota Twins are the 2006 MLB Champions! Michael Cuddyer (.320 BA, 2 HR, 9 RBI) was named the World Series MVP.
