Danny Valencia off to scorching Spring Training start

BRADENTON, Fla. -- A pair of two-out RBI doubles by Danny Valencia highlighted the Twins' 4-2 victory over the Pirates at McKechnie Field on Wednesday afternoon in the first of four spring meetings between the two clubs.

Valencia, who is now 4-for-7 this spring, connected for his first extra-base hit off Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf in the first inning. Ben Revere scored easily after walking and advancing to second on a passed ball earlier in the frame.

Valencia doubled home Trevor Plouffe two innings later to extend Minnesota's lead.
