GAME RECAP

Impact player

Eric Hosmer, Kansas City

His sixth-inning double turned into the tying run, and his eighth-inning single untied the game.

BY THE NUMBERS

7 Joe Mauer's modest hitting streak, which ended with his 0-for-4 night.

6⅓ Innings pitched by Mike Pelfrey, his longest stint of the season

10 Times hit by pitch by Josh Willingham, or two more than the other eight hitters in Twins lineup Thursday.

ON DECK

The Twins play their first-ever road game against the Nationals, the last current MLB team they have never faced on its home field.
