Freeman Delivers Clutch At-Bat for Minnesota in Walk-Off Win
The Minnesota Twins defeated the Texas Rangers, 8-5, at Target Field today. Leading the charge for Minnesota was center fielder Whit Merrifield. He went 4-5 with 4 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Wandy Peralta, credited with the win, is now 4-2. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Minnesota is now 38-49, Texas 57-33.

A key moment came with two out in the bottom of the 11th. That's when Twins first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a fastball from Ryan Burr for a 3-run home run, putting Minnesota up, 8-5.

In postgame remarks, Merrifield simply said: "Here's to a great win!"
