Twins Earn Clutch Win, 6-5
Tanner Minty had a hand in Cincinnati defeating Kansas City by the score of 6-5. Minty went 2 for 4 at the plate, scoring 1 times and driving in 2 runs. The winner in relief was Cruz Vaquez. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 3-0. Cincinnati is now 63-68, Kansas City 52-78.

Had Minty not come through in the top of the ninth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Minty hit a run-scoring single. The Twins took the lead, 6-5, and never looked back.

"Some of the guys in here work hard, some of the guys just kind of fall out of bed and get it done. Whatever works I guess, we won this one," Minty told the Cincinnati Times.
