Twins Rally to Eke Out Win
Minnesota beat Atlanta at Target Field, eking out a 4-3 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Matt Harvey, who earned player of the game honors. The win was credited to Colin Poche in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Ivan Nova took the loss. The Twins now have a mark of 45-67.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Freddie Freeman came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Atlanta pitcher Ivan Nova, he hit a full count sinker for a run-scoring double. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 4-3.

"Exciting game to play in," said Freeman. "Getting the win makes it even better."
