Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Santiago Espinal? The Minnesota second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Twins on top, 2-1. For the game, Espinal had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Espinal.
