KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Joe Mauer went 3 for 3, raising his average to .392 and backing pitcher Glen Perkins (4-4) in Minnesota's victory over Kansas City.

After walking in the first inning, Mauer stroked three consecutive singles, driving in a run. His average would lead the major leagues, but his 240 plate appearances are eight shy of the 3.1 per game he needs to qualify.

Michael Cuddyer homered in the second inning for Minnesota, and an error by second baseman Alberto Callaspo in the third accounted for the deciding run.
