Darwin a slugger bid for Twins spot after switch from pitcher
Bobby Darwin, 29, who converted from pitcher to outfielder, homered twice to pace the Twins 4-2 win over Boston in spring exhibition. He previously spent eight seasons in the minors, including a 0-6 6.49 ERA season with Spokane in 1970, and led Hermosillo to 27 winter homers. He now seeks a full-time Twins roster spot as a rookie outfielder.
