A Royce Lewis 10th inning single would be the walk-off winner for the Minnesota Twins to beat the Colorado Rockies 9-8 on Friday night after blowing a seven-run lead. It would be the first career walk-off hit for Lewis and would also be the first for the Twins this season. Pinch-running for Josh Bel l at second, Kyler Fedko advanced to third base on a wild pitch by Jimmy Herget (0-2) before Lewis roped the game-winner past a diving Ezequiel Tovar at shortstop. This marks the 7th win in 11 games for the Twins. Hunter Goodman hit a two-run home run to cap a five-run ninth inning and give the Rockies, who trailed 7-0 after seven innings, an 8-7 lead. Jake McCarthy hit a three-run shot two batters earlier off Eric Orze. Goodman’s 451-foot shot to left field came off Anthony Banda, who had not allowed a run in his past 18 appearances, but blew a save for the second time this season. Pinch-hitters Austin Martin and Ryan Kreidler singled with one out for Minnesota in the ninth and a high chopper by Byron Buxton went over the head of third baseman Willi Castro to tie it. Andrew Morris (3-2) pitched a scoreless 10th inning for the Twins and got some defensive help from his shortstop. With one out, Tristan Gray fielded a grounder on the infield grass and threw out Tyler Freeman trying to score from third base. Kody Clemens hit a two-run home run in the first inning for the Twins. Brooks Lee lofted a fly ball just inside the right-field foul pole for a two-run home run in the second. Trevor Larnach doubled and scored on a Buxton double. Clemens walked and Bell doubled to plate Buxton and Clemens to make it 7-0 in the fifth inning. Up next Rockies RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-9, 7.11 ERA) was scheduled to pitch Saturday night against RHP Mike Paredes (0-0, 4.05). ...read more read less
