MINNEAPOLIS - Twins starter Kevin Slowey was looking for his first win of the season last night when he faced the Mariners at Target Field. And, things looked good for the winless right-hander for the first half of the game.

He was tossing a no-hitter into the sixth inning, when all heck broke loose. He allowed five runs and six hits over the next two innings, lost the game 5-4, and fell to 0-7 on the season.

The Twins also pushed their losing streak to 11 straight games, the third longest in franchise history. Minnesota and Seattle play a day game today in Minneapolis at noon.
