Colorado RockiesvsMinnesota Twins
COL 2/MIN 3
Things to say
The Twins beat the Rockies 3-2 at Target Field.
01
opener
Twins squeaked it out 3-2. Classic one-run game, came down to the last couple innings. Real pitcher's duel until somebody finally pushed a run across.
02
key player
Whoever the Twins ran out there had his stuff working — kept the Rockies' bats quiet and held them to two. That's how you win a low-scoring one.
03
hot take
Honestly, scoring three should not be enough to win a ballgame, but that Twins bullpen slammed the door. Rockies left too many guys on.
04
deep cut
Getaway day at the Field and the offense barely showed up on either side. The whole thing hinged on a one-run margin late.
05
exit
Twins are scrappy under .500 but they take this one. Anyway, we'll see if they can keep it rolling next series.
The recap
The Twins squeaked out a 3-2 win over the Rockies at Target Field in a tight one that came down to the wire. Minnesota scratched across just enough offense and leaned on the bullpen to slam the door late, holding Colorado to two runs all afternoon.
The Rockies hung around but couldn't push the tying run home when it mattered, and they head home from this getaway day still buried at 33-51. Nothing flashy here, just a one-run grind the Twins were happy to bank.
