Rece Hinds hit a two-run double in the top of the 10th inning, and the Cincinnati Reds held on for a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.
TJ Friedl went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBIs and a stolen base to lead Cincinnati, which completed a three-game sweep. Sal Stewart also drove in a run.
Victor Caratini had two hits with two RBIs to lead Minnesota at the plate. Josh Bell and Austin Martin added RBIs for the Twins, who lost their fourth game in a row.
Reds right-hander Emilio Pagan (2-0) got the victory despite allowing one run on two hits in one inning of relief. Pagan was one of four relievers to follow starter Brady Singer, who gave up three runs on five hits in six innings.
Twins right-hander Garrett Acton (1-1) gave up three unearned runs on one hit in 1 2/3 innings. He was part of a bullpen that could not hold the lead for starter Bailey Ober, who struck out 10 and allowed one unearned run in 6 1/3 innings.
Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft pitched a scoreless inning for his first career save. The game ended on an ABS challenge by the Reds, which determined that Twins hitter Brooks Lee watched strike three for the final out.
Minnesota committed two errors on one play to allow the Reds to take the lead in the 10th. Tristan Gray could not handle a ground ball hit to third base by Eugenio Suarez, and when the ball rolled into left field, Martin misplayed it and allowed Elly De La Cruz to race home.
The double miscue gave the Reds a 5-4 lead. Later in the inning, Hinds belted a two-run double to left to put Cincinnati on top 7-4.
Minnesota coughed up a 3-1 lead heading into the ninth. The Reds loaded the bases for Friedl, who hit a bases-clearing double to give Cincinnati a 4-3 advantage.
The Twins battled back to even the score in the bottom of the ninth. James Outman hit a leadoff double to right, and Martin drove him in two batters later with a double to left.
