Kendry Rojas got the start tonight in lieu of Joe Ryan who was sick (he’ll pitch tomorrow, it sounds like), and immediately walked the first two Dodgers. Then, after a couple strikeouts, Tommy Edman hit a liner up the middle, past the glove of Luke Keaschall, to score LA’s first run.
It was a fairly clean, scoreless inning for Rojas in the 2nd, with Victor Caratini hitting a solo HR for the Twins first run in the bottom half.
Newly called up Austin Voth took over for Rojas and allowed a 1-out double to Freddie Freeman. Edman hit a grounder to 2nd and despite Keashcall, Voth, and Lewis converging at first base, no out was recorded, allowing Freeman to score on the error.
In the bottom of the 3rd, Byron Buxton hit a double to left-center with Austin Martin at 1st, who was thrown out at home. However, Josh Bell was able to tie the game up at 2 with a bloop single to center, scoring Buxton.
It did not stay tied for very long, as Alex Call singled, then Chuckie Robinson singled and moved Call to 3rd, then Shohei Ohtani hit a sac fly RBI, then 3 more singles scored 2 more after that, putting the Dodgers up 5-2.
Meanwhile, the Twins bats started faltering against the lefty Justin Wrobleski, earning just a single and a walk in innings 4 through 7. The Dodgers did not stop scoring, with single runs in the 6th and 7th, as well as 5 in the 9th against Taylor Rogers, making this one not even close.
Oh, Brooks Lee hit a solo homer in the 9th, cool. 12-3 is your final.
