Twins Bridle Royals, 3-2
|
In a low-scoring clash between Minnesota and Kansas City, pitcher Nick Pivetta was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned player of the game honors for Minnesota in the 3-2 win. Juan Nicasio was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 8 save opportunities. Minnesota is now 69-80.
Avisail Garcia, who is tied for 10th in the AL in triples with 6, aided the Minnesota cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the third. For the game, the right fielder drove in one run.
"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Pivetta.
