Games Notes

Twins rout the Rangers again, 15-5.

After beating Texas 17-5 and 10-1 in the previous week, Minnesota adds another drubbing, highlighted by rookie Max Kepler's Grand Slam. What appears to be a pitching duel, with Kennys Vargas' solo HR in the 4th being the lone run, takes a big turn in the 5th. Joe Mauer singles home a run in the 5th, and then scores on Kepler's Grand Slam off A.J. Griffin.

The Rangers respond with 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th, but the Twins strike for 7 more runs in the 7th, highlighted by back-to-back HRs by Eduardo Escobar and Brian Dozier. Robbie Grossman, Eddie Rosario and Kurt Suzuki each collect 3 hits for Minnesota.
