Correa’s bomb lifts Twins over Padres
Carlos Correa hit a two-run bomb and the Minnesota Twins snapped a three-game dropping streak with a 7-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
The Padres received on the board first with a Manny Machado residence run within the third inning however Byron Buxton answered, launching his twenty sixth bomb of the yr within the fourth inning to tie the sport.
The Twins took the lead on a Gilberto Celestino RBI single within the fifth and rode Sonny Grey’s 5 innings of one-run ball to take the lead into the eighth. As soon as the Twins received there, Correa delivered some insurance coverage, launching a 414-foot blast to offer Minnesota a 4-1 lead.
Correa’s bomb set the tone for a five-run eighth inning and regardless of a three-run homer by Jurickson Profar within the ninth, Tyler Duffey was in a position to shut out the victory.
