Joe Mays outdueled Kevin Appier as the Twins won Game 1. A. J. Pierzynski hit a sac fly to put the Twins out in front first, but the Angels tied it the next inning on an error by Cristian Guzmán. The Twins would take a one-run lead when Corey Koskie doubled in a run in the fifth. The game would remain scoreless and Eddie Guardado would get the save.
