Griffin Jax comes in for his 42nd appearance on the mound for the Twins. Trea Turner got a foot or so from leaving the yard, but Gilberto Celestino misplayed it and Trea has his 30th double of the season.
Freddie Freeman flied out to Jack Cave in left for the 2nd out. Jax intentionally walked Will Smith to get to Hanser Alberto, but Doc called him back to pinch-hit Joey Gallo.
Evan Phillips takes over the pitching for the top of the 7th inning, and he got Luis Arraez grounded out to Trea Turner at short to start the inning. He Who Shall Be Booed got jeered at when he struck out to 0-4 with his 2nd strikeout tonight.

Hanser Alberto stays in the game at 3rd base, and lefty David Price comes in to pitch the 6th.
Jake Cave tried to change his mind about swinging at a cutter, but 3BU Ted Barrett said he went around. That's the 5th K by Dodgers pitchers, and if they can collect 5 more, LA area fans will have free food for the 2nd day in a row as the Dodgers take a travel day to KC.

Lefty Caleb Thielbar comes in to finish off the 5th inning, and Doc Roberts lifts Max Muncy in favor of Hanser Alberto. Jose Miranda earns himself a spot on the highlight reel with an amazing snag of Alberto's line drive before it can give Will Smith a chance to score the leading run.
