Sunday's Twins-Rays game recap
Josh Donaldson scored twice, including the game-winning run in the ninth inning.
IMPACT PLAYER
Josh Donaldson, Twins
Those opportunistic veteran legs carried him around the base paths Sunday to score two runs, one in the third inning for a 4-0 lead and the game-winner in the ninth inning.
BY THE NUMBERS
8-5 Rocco Baldelli's record against his former Rays team.
.313 Twins batters went 5-for-16 on Sunday with runners in scoring position after they went 0-for-11 in the series' first two games.
23-18 Twins' record in one-run games this season.
3 Third baseman Luis Arraez's hits on Sunday after he went 2-for-29 in nine games since Aug. 25.
UP NEXT
Twins' Bailey Ober will start and Michael Pineda will follow him presumably for six or seven innings. They'll tag-team against Cleveland's Logan Allen to start a four-game series.
JERRY ZGODA
The Twins executive was on hand with Cleveland when Mark Shapiro did the double, and Shapiro noticed then his ability to “connect across every role in the organization.”
