The Twins win. The Vikings win. A good night for Minnesota. The Twins have now won six in a row against the Angels. In the four games this year, the Twins have outscored the Angels 33-8.
The Twins started this one out in the second inning with a Royce Lewis home run to center field, Larnach scored. Same inning though, Angels would take the lead with a Mike Trout RBI single. Royce would homer again in the fifth, this time to left, Larnach crosses home again. Lewis grew up in the area and had many family
and friends at the game.
Then the wheels were off for the Angels. Yoan Moncada had two errors and third, James Outman hit a home run, Matt Wallner hit an RBI double and Luke Keaschall went 3-6 with 2 RBI. Overall a stellar hitting performance for the Twins without Buxton in the lineup as he is day-to-day after being HBP in the Royals series. The Angels had four errors in this game.
Simeon Woods Richardson got the win, striking out six in five innings. He gave up three runs and is now 6-4. Greek Mythology arms Travis Adams struck out four batters in 1 2/3 innings of relief, a good outing for him. The young Caden Dana struck out a career-high nine Twins, but the 21-year-old recorded his first loss.
This was Royce Lewis’ third multi-home run game. He did so earlier this year in Colorado and of course in his epic performance against the Blue Jays in the 2023 American League Wild Card Series Game 1 where his homers scored all three runs for the Twins.
Next up – Twins are back in action against the Angels tomorrow night, same time same place. RHP Zebby Matthews (4-4) gets the start for the Twins, Kyle Hendricks (6-9) for the Angels.
