Byron Buxton led off the bottom of the first with a triple and scored on Trevor Larnach's single to give the Twins a quick lead.

Key moment With a runner on first and nobody out in the fifth, Will Robertson hit a chopper back to the mound. His bat shattered, and the barrel flew past Woods Richardson's face as he made the play. However, the throw to start a potential double play sailed into center field for an error. Both runners scored on Bryan Ramos' double to tie the game 3-3.
