Making his first start since April 12 on Friday, Joe Mauer went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Minnesota's 6-5 win over the Padres at home. He roped an RBI single to shallow center in the first inning before going hitless the rest of the night. A steady, if not electrifying, return to the lineup. The Twins will be taking on Padres righty Tim Stauffer on Saturday, someone Mauer has zero career at-bats against.
