Justin Morneau continued his surge since moving to designated hitter, going 2 for 4 with a double Saturday to help the Minnesota Twin rough up Kevin Correia and a Pittsburgh Pirates split squad in a 15-3 win. Correia gave up 10 runs and 12 hits in 2 1-3 innings. The bad day more than doubled Correia's run total through his first 14 innings this spring.

Denard Span went 4 for 5 with a double for the Twins and Ryan Doumit homered and had two hits.
