Twins Take Down Rays, 3-2, in 10
The Minnesota Twins wiggled past the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-2, at Target Field. The win was highlighted by the performance of Minnesota pitcher Mike Soroka. Minnesota has now won 3 in a row.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the tenth, an error by the Rays allowed the Twins to score the winning run.

"What a buzz," said Rutschman after it was over.
