Minnesota plays Sunday against Connecticut, which advanced to its sixth consecutive semifinals after an 87-81 victory over Indiana earlier Wednesday.

Carlos Santana homered for the Twins, who hold the second AL wild card.

Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson pitched 3 2/3 innings, giving up three runs and six hits.

Jhoan Duran earned his 20th save for Minnesota, which is tied with Kansas City, 3 1/2 games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland.

Braves beat skidding Twins 3-game sweep, as Sale notches 15th win and Soler shines.

The Atlanta Braves scored four times in the 10th inning to beat the Minnesota Twins 8-6 on Tuesday night.

The Atlanta Braves past the sputtering Minnesota Twins 10-6 on Monday night.

With the win, Minnesota snapped a three-game skid and avoided a sweep in San Diego.

Matthews (1-0) allowed two runs on five hits with no walks and five strikeouts, the latest and most meaningful feat for the 24-year-old right-hander who started the season in Class A.

Pablo López (11-8) finished six innings with two earned runs allowed for his third win in four starts for the Twins.

After taking the double-header to open the series the Minnesota Twins slumped as the weekend series would see the Cleveland Guardians take the final to games at Target Field.

The most successful was perhaps outfielder Matt Wallner, who held the Mets scoreless over the final 1 1/3 innings while floating 40-42 mph rainbows in his first major league appearance on the mound.

The Twins claimed their fifth walk-off victory of the season. The National League-leading Phillies (64-38) lost their third straight series.

The Twins have homered in a club-record 28 straight games — the longest streak in the majors this season.
