MINNEAPOLIS, June 15 (UPI) -- Jason Kubel and Matt Tolbert homered to lead a 14-hit Twins attack Tuesday in Minnesota's 9-3 rout of Colorado.

Nick Punto and Denard Span each had two hits and a pair of RBI and Delmon Young was 3-for-4 with a run driven in for the victors.
Carl Pavano (7-6) gave Minnesota seven strong innings, surrendering three runs on five hits over seven innings, walking only one and fanning five to get the win.
Aaron Cook (2-4) was touched for five runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki each smacked solo homers in the Rockies' first-ever visit to the new Twins ball park.
