Twins get walkoff slam to win

July 16, 2018 By Minnesota News Network

TWINS 11, RAYS 7, 10 INNINGS

Brian Dozier hit a grand slam for Minnesota in the 10th inning, capping a testy, back-and-forth finish that featured four lead changes from the bottom of the seventh on.

Jake Cave singled to start the 10th against Matt Andriese (2-4). He moved up on a stolen base and a sacrifice bunt. Manager Kevin Cash ordered two intentional walks to load the bases and brought left fielder Joey Wendle in for a five-man infield. Dozier squashed the strategy with his 16th homer of the season.

Alan Busenitz (3-0) got four outs for the win.
