Marwin Gonzalez hit a three-run home run off of Josh Hader to propel the Minnesota Twins to a come-from-behind 7-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday.
The pivotal eighth inning started with the Twins putting runners on first and second with no outs before Brewers reliever Drew Pomeranz (2-10) recorded the first out. He was replaced by Matt Albers, who struck out the only batter he faced, C.J. Cron.
But then Gonzalez hit Hader’s first pitch, a 96 miles-per-hour fastball, over the wall for his 14th homer of the season.
The Twins had spent a total 126 days in first place, including 113 consecutive days, until Monday, when the Indians passed them. With the Indians’ loss Tuesday, the Twins are back in first, by a half-game over Cleveland.
