Luke Keaschall singled in the 11th and Byron Buxton drew a walk
with an ABS challenge to load the bases for Lee. He cleared them
on the third pitch he saw and gave Minnesota a 5-2 lead.
The Twins had nearly taken the lead in the 10th inning on
Orlando Arcia's two-out single, but Kody Klemens was thrown out
at home by Rikuu Nishida to end the inning.
Taylor Rogers (1-1) earned the win with a scoreless 10th, and
Yoendrys Gómez earned his third save in the 11th.
Joe Ryan tied a season high with nine strikeouts, allowed five
hits and issued no walks in 7 2/3 innings, his longest outing of
the season. He was working on a shutout until Munetaka Murakami
hit a tying two-run homer in the eighth inning.
The Twins were held hitless until the fourth inning. Trevor
Larnach hit a leadoff double, Clemens got him home with a
stand-up triple and Austin Martin drove in Clemens on a
line-drive single.
Sean Burke allowed two runs in seven innings, allowing three
hits while striking out eight and walking two. Tyler Davis (2-2)
took the loss in relief.

debut against Twins LHP Connor Prielipp (1-2, 4.03) in the third
