Brian Dozier’s two-run home run with one out in the 10th inning lifted the Minnesota Twins to a 4-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.
Dozier lined a 2-1 pitch from Tommy Hunter (2-2) into the left field seats for his 17th home run of the season. It scored Danny Santana, who singled one batter earlier. Earlier in the day Dozier was selected as one of the five candidates for the final roster spot on the AL All-Star team.
Trevor May (5-7) pitched a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win in his first relief appearance of the season.
The game reached the 10th inning tied 2-2 thanks to four long solo home runs that accounted for all the scoring. The Twins blasts came from Torii Hunter and Aaron Hicks.
