Twin Cities Shuts Out Houston, 8-0
Houston were shut out, 8-0, by Tommy Lloyd and the Twin Cities Northmen at Twin Cities Stadium. The Drillers offered little resistance to Lloyd, who stopped them on 5 hits, fanned 2 and walked 1.

"It just felt right today," the left-handed Lloyd told reporters after the win. "Even with the rain, it didn't throw me off my rhythm."

In 8 starts this season, Lloyd has chalked up a 5-1 record and a 3.07 ERA.
