Twins snap losing streak
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 06 - 2016

Brian Dozier's walk-off homer in the 11th inning lifted the Minnesota Twins to a 6-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, snapping a three-game losing streak.
Dozier hit one deep to left off Miami right-hander Dustin McGowan (0-2) with two outs in the 11th to complete the Twins rally.
Minnesota (17-40) got a pair of homers from leadoff hitter Eduardo Nunez and another from Robbie Grossman. Left-handed starter Pat Dean allowed seven hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Twins, who are now 3-5 in interleague play. Lefty Buddy Boshers (1-0) pitched the 11th for the Twins to get the win.
The Marlins (30-28) lost for the third time in four games, despite the efforts of starter Adam Conley who struck out eight Twins and threw 100 pitches in 6 2/3 innings of work. It was the fourth time in his last six starts that Conley has pitched into the sixth inning or deeper.
Tigers 3, Blue Jays 2 (10 innings): Ian Kinsler's bases-loaded single in the 10th inning completed a late rally as Detroit won its fifth straight by stunning Toronto at Comerica Park.
Justin Upton led off the bottom of the 10th with a single up the middle against Joe Biagini (3-2). Jarrod Saltalamacchia walked on a 3-2 pitch. Upton beat the throw to third base on Jose Iglesias' sacrifice bunt, loading the bases.
Kinsler followed with a bouncer over the head of third baseman Josh Donaldson.
Padres 4, Braves 3: Wil Myers singled home Alexei Ramirez with one out in the ninth to cap a two-run rally and give San Diego a walk-off win over Atlanta at Petco Park.
The loss was the sixth straight for the Braves. The Padres have won five of seven games on their homestand.
The Padres tied the score at 3-3 when catcher Derek Norris greeted Braves right-handed closer Arodys Vizcaino with a home run leading off the bottom of the ninth.
Reds 7, Cardinals 6: Joey Votto's solo home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Cincinnati to a wild victory over St. Louis at Great American Ball Park.
Adam Duvall hit a three-run home run and Billy Hamilton added a rare solo shot for the Reds, who won for the seventh time in 10 games since snapping an 11-game losing streak.
Votto's homer was his 11th of the season. It came on a 2-0 pitch from Kevin Siegrist, giving him five walk-off homers in his career.
Dodgers 4, Rockies 3: Trayce Thompson hit his second walkoff home run this season to give Los Angeles a win over Colorado at Dodger Stadium.
With two outs, Thompson teed off on Carlos Estevez's 97-mph fastball and drove it into the left-field stands for the walkoff win. Thompson has both of the Dodgers' walkoff homers this season.
Kenley Jansen (2-10) earned the win with one inning of scoreless relief. Estevez (1-3) took the loss.
Orioles 9, Royals 1: Mark Trumbo, Chris Davis, Adam Jones and Ryan Flaherty all homered as Baltimore handed Kansas City its sixth straight loss in a game that featured a huge fifth-inning brawl.
Trumbo finished the night 2-for-4 with four RBIs and now has 20 homers this season. He also had a two-run double during the four-run first inning as the Orioles took a lead they never lost en route to their third straight victory and sixth in seven games.
Davis, Jones and Flaherty all added solo homers. Trumbo and Davis hit back-to-back blasts after the melee in the fifth where Orioles shortstop Manny Machado raced to the mound after Royals starter Yordano Ventura hit him with a pitch on the left hip/lower back.
Pirates 3, Mets 1 (Game 1): Former New York Mets left-hander Jonathon Niese limited his former team to four hits in seven shutout innings, Jordy Mercer hit his first homer in his home park in 22 months and Pittsburgh beat New York in the first game of a doubleheader.
Juan Nicasio limited the struggling Mets to one run over five innings, backup catcher Chris Stewart had two key hits and Pittsburgh completed a doubleheader sweep of New York with 3-1 win in the second game.
Other results: Brewers 5, Athletics 4; Phillies 3, Cubs 2; Yankees 6, Angels 3; Rangers 4, Astros 3; Nationals 10, White Sox 5; Diamondbacks 5, Rays 0; Red Sox 5, Giants 3; Mariners 7, Indians 1.
