Carlos Correa, who went 3 for 4 with an RBI and two runs scored, led off the second inning with a single, Carlos Santana hit a single the next at-bat and Byron Buxton was hit by a pitch to load the bases.Buxton's sac fly in the third inning scored Correa, who singled a couple at-bats earlier, to make it 4-0.The Diamondbacks got one run back in the bottom of the fourth when Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit an RBI triple.
Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson ran into some trouble in the sixth inning, walking Ketel Marte and giving up a double to Christian Walker. That's when his day came to an end and Josh Staumont came on in relief, but Marte scored on a wild pitch and Gurriel hit a sac fly to bring Walker home.Woods Richardson improved to 3-1 with the victory.
The Twins racked up 10 hits off Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson, who lasted just 3 2/3 innings after giving up six runs while fanning three in the loss.
