Larnach's three-run homer in the second inning appeared to injure a fan.
Trevor Larnach's three-run homer and Brooks Lee's solo home run guided the Minnesota Twins to a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays Monday night in Florida.
Royce Lewis ripped an RBI double in the first inning to get the scoring started and Larnach gave the Twins a 4-1 lead with a laser beam of a home run to right field in the second inning.
