Ryan Kreidler’s RBI double off the center-field wall in the eighth inning scored Luke Keaschall and completed the Minnesota Twins’ comeback in a 5-4 win against the St. Louis Cardinals
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Kreidler’s RBI double off the center-field wall in the eighth inning scored Luke Keaschall and completed the Minnesota Twins’ comeback in a 5-4 win against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Kreidler had a pinch-hit single and scored the tying run in the seventh for Minnesota, which took two of three games in the series. Victor Caratini hit a two-run homer for the Twins in the fourth.
Andrew Morris (2-2) pitched a scoreless inning of relief, striking out three of the four batters he faced. Yoendrys Gómez earned his sixth save of the season and fifth with the Twins.
Kreidler made a diving stop and throw from shortstop in the ninth to get José Fermín at first after a successful replay challenge by Minnesota manager Derek Shelton.
Byron Buxton had three hits for the Twins and drove in a run during the seventh-inning rally.
St. Louis reliever George Soriano (3-1) gave up one run and three hits in 1 2/3 innings. He allowed the tying run to score in the seventh after inheriting a bases-loaded jam from JoJo Romero with one out.
JJ Wetherholt and Alec Burleson homered for the Cardinals. Michael McGreevy allowed two runs in six innings.
