GAME 54 of 60

IMPACT PLAYER

Eddie Rosario, Twins

Got the Twins on the board early with his first-inning home run, then delivered a much-needed two-out RBI single to get the offense going again.

BY THE NUMBERS

10 Playoff appearances for the Twins in the 21st century; this is their first back-to-back trip to the postseason since 2009-10.

2 Runners the Twins had thrown out at second base during their five-run seventh inning, as both Mitch Garver and Byron Buxton failed to advance on balls hit to the outfield.

8 Pitches it took Tyler Duffey to get through the sixth inning.

ON DECK

The road trip finale is a rare "Sunday Night Baseball" appearance on ESPN for the Twins, and it comes with a showcase pitching matchup, too: Jose Berrios vs. Yu Darvish.
