MINNEAPOLIS _ The Seattle Mariners shouldn't have had clubhouse attendants pack their gear Sunday afternoon before they headed out of the Metrodome. Twins players should have volunteered to make sure the Mariners promptly left the Twin Cities after what they did to the Twins the past four days.

The Twins were wondering what went wrong after the Mariners won 9-5 Sunday in front of 18,754 fans to complete a sweep of four games. During the series, the Mariners outscored the Twins 30-13.

Five days ago, the Twins were feeling good about facing the Mariners. They entered the series having won 6 of 8 games the previous week against Oakland and Seattle, the top two teams in American League West.

Those feelings were forgotten when the Mariners came into the Metrodome and played nearly flawless baseball.

"I kind of have a sick, bad feeling about these four games," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It's not supposed to happen; teams don't come here and beat us at home, and they did."

For four games, the Twins were shaking their heads as they hit balls that didn't require Mariners fielders to take a step. Balls headed toward gaps between infielders were scooped up and turned into outs by the league's best defensive team.
