Game Summary
Minnesota Twins defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1. The Twins grabbed an early lead on Josh Bell’s two-run homer in the first and tacked on insurance when Ryan Jeffers ripped a two-run double in the eighth. Minnesota collected 10 hits and leveraged those timely extra-base hits to control the game. Zebby Matthews delivered a strong start, working 5.2 innings and allowing one earned run while striking out four, and Yoendrys Gómez finished with a scoreless ninth for the save. Atlanta got a solo shot from Drake Baldwin in the sixth, but the Braves were held to six hits and one run in defeat.
