The Twins shook off back-to-back losses yesterday with a win over the Tampa Bay Rays, winning 4-2 and evening up the three game series. Minnesota got the scoring started early in the first inning when Brooks Lee drove in a run on a sac-fly, then in the second inning they would add another thanks to a Kody Clemens homerun that traveled 415 feet to center field. Tampa would try to chip away at the lead with a run in the fourth, but Minnesota would add some insurance in the sixth after an error allowed Ryan Jeffers to come home. After a Rays run in the seventh, Minnesota would add a little insurance on a Ty France single that would score Carlos Correa. Joe Ryan picked up the win for the Twins on the mound throwing 6.0 innings of one-run ball.
Minnesota now improves to 30-24 and are still 5.0 games back of the red-hot Detroit Tigers. The Twins will look to win the series in the rubber match today in an early start with Pablo Lopez on the mound. First pitch is set for 12:10 CT, and you can listen live on KGFX 1060 AM or 103.1 FM in the Pierre area.
