SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Eddie Rosario scored the winning run in his homeland in the bottom of the 16th inning, coming around on Ryan LaMarre’s single to lift the Minnesota Twins over the Indians 2-1 to split their two-game series in Puerto Rico.
Rosario led off the 16th with a single and went to third when Logan Morrison’s grounder got past second baseman Jason Kipnis. LaMarre ended the 5-hour, 13-minute marathon with a sharp liner to center.
The series game went on aided by generators hours after a blackout hit Puerto Rico. The blackout affected the entire island, though baseball and government officials quickly determined that the game at Hiram Bithorn Stadium could proceed as scheduled.
