Twins Deck Rays, 9-3
Minnesota Twins starter Kenta Maeda was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Tampa Bay Rays, 9-3. Maeda got the win, improving to 9-8. He allowed 5 hits and walked 2 over 6.2 innings. Maeda allowed 3 runs. Minnesota has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Max Kepler to capture the win. The right fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the first inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Maeda.
