The Twins nearly blew a four-run lead in the eighth inning. Lefty reliever Génesis Cabrera recorded only one out, giving up a hit and two walks. Justin Topa surrendered a bases-loaded walk and two RBI singles to his first three batters before inducing a foul ball against Colson Montgomery.

And one pitch later, Royce Lewis drove Civale’s cutter 386 feet for a grand slam to give the Twins a 4-1 lead. One pitch brought home every run the Twins scored off Civale, who finished with five innings, five hits, four earned runs, four walks and five strikeouts.
