Twins Stun Rays, 7-6
Despite a fine performance by third baseman Rafael Devers, the Tampa Bay Rays lost to the Minnesota Twins, 7-6. Devers went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Nick Anderson converted his 11th save in 12 tries. The Twins move to 29-33 with the win, while the Rays drop to 27-36.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Miguel Rojas came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Tampa Bay pitcher Darren O'Day, he hit a 1-1 sinker for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 7-5.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Rojas told the Minnesota Observer.
