Twins Continue Skid Thanks to Posey, Rays
Buster Posey was instrumental in his team's 16-4 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. The catcher went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Tampa Bay Rays. The losses continue to mount for Minnesota, which has now dropped 6 in a row.

With Tampa Bay leading 2-0 in the top of the first, Posey hit a changeup from Jordan Lyles for a 3-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Rays ahead, 5-0.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Posey.
