MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Not that he'll admit it, but occasionally Marquis Grissom can do a pretty good imitation of a power hitter.

"Heck no! I'm not a home run hitter," Grissom said after his second homer in two days helped the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 Sunday. "I'd like to think I'm a doubles hitter."

Whatever he is, he was a thorn in the Twins' side.

Grissom scored three times, tying a club season-high, and John Snyder snapped an eight-game losing streak as the Brewers won two of three in the interleague series with their former AL rivals.

Snyder (1-2), who hadn't won since Aug. 9, 1999, a span of 12 starts, allowed three runs on eight hits and four walks, two of them intentional, in 5 2/3 innings.

David Weathers relieved him with two out in the sixth with the Brewers ahead 4-3 and runners on first and third. He got Ron Coomer on a high pop-up that second baseman Ron Belliard and shortstop Santiago Perez both lost in the Metrodome ceiling. Belliard recovered and caught the ball as he was falling down after the lead runner had already crossed the plate with what would have been the tying run.

Grissom reached on a two-base error leading off the next inning and he scored his third run on Geoff Jenkins' RBI single off Eddie Guardado, making it 5-3.

Bob Wickman pitched the ninth for his seventh save. He loaded the bases with one out, but got Matthew LeCroy to ground into a game-ending double play.

LeCroy is hitting just .180, but wasn't pulled for a pinch hitter.

"Who'd you want to hit for him?" Twins manager Tom Kelly retorted. "I could have hit Midre (Cummings) for him. If I could have, I would, but Midre was playing. You think I should have pinch-hit for him?"

The paltry crowd of 11,715 seemed to think so.

Brewers manager Davey Lopes didn't come out and say it, but he had to be glad when he saw LeCroy batting against Wickman.

"No, I don't bite my nails," Lopes said. "Bob's a double-play guy, so I knew we had a good chance ..."

And LeCroy didn't have much of one.

He hit a bouncer to third baseman Jose Hernandez, who threw home. Catcher Raul Casanova stepped on the plate and threw to first for the last out.

Grissom hit a two-run homer in the first -- his third of the season and second in two games -- and tied it at 3 in the fifth when he scored from third on Jenkins' fielder's choice hopper to first base. Mark Sweeney followed with an RBI single that gave Milwaukee a 4-3 lead.

Minnesota starter Brad Radke (3-8) surrendered five runs on 10 hits in six-plus innings. He allowed nine of the first 16 batters he faced to reach base and fell behind 2-0 just four pitches into the game, when Grissom hit a 412-foot homer.

Radke has been victimized by poor run support, but he didn't do anything to help himself out this time.

"Even he had a bad day today," Kelly said. "We didn't do anything good, nothing, not a thing."

Well, a few things.

In the bottom of the first, Matt Lawton's routine ground ball to shortstop went for an RBI triple instead of a double play when Cristian Guzman broke on the pitch, drawing Perez to cover second as the ball scooted into the outfield.

Denny Hocking's RBI single in the fourth tied it at 2 and first baseman Charlie Hayes' throwing error on Guzman's bouncer allowed another run to score, giving Minnesota a 3-2 lead.

Clearly, though, Radke is tired of getting no support.

"Every pitch counts," he said. "It's not like when you get a big lead and I can pretty much do what I want."

Game notes
Brewers catcher Henry Blanco, who has thrown out an NL-best 55 percent of runners attempting to steal, remains in Venezuela with his seriously ill father. ... The Brewers, coming off their only game all season in which they didn't walk a batter, didn't get far in extending that stat as the second Twins batter drew a base on balls. ... Lawton drew three walks, two of them intentional. ... Jenkins stole his second and third bases of the year.
