Twins top Mariners 3-2 on Suzuki's RBI single in 9th
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins haven't been hitting a whole lot lately.
They simply sprinted away with this game against the Seattle Mariners.
Kurt Suzuki hit the winning RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, after two wild pitches by Seattle closer Carson Smith let the Twins tie the score on their way to a 3-2 victory over the Mariners on Saturday.
"It's still only August 1, but you take them any way you can now," said Suzuki, who's been at the top of the list of slumping Twins.
Eddie Rosario did most of the running. Intentionally walked with two outs so Smith could face Suzuki with men at first and third, Rosario moved up on an errant slider while pinch-runner Shane Robinson raced home with the tying run.
