MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Miguel Sanó hit a two-run homer in the 12th inning to lift Minnesota past Cincinnati 7-5.
It was the fifth straight victory for the Twins and the fifth loss in a row for the Reds.
The Twins earned their fourth consecutive extra-innings win after eight straight losses in extras to start the season.
The game lasted 5:14 and ended 30 minutes past midnight.
It began on a somber note with a remembrance of the late Mike Bell.
He’s the former Reds player and Twins coach who was the younger brother of Reds manager David Bell and died of cancer this year.
