Jorge Polanco scored the tying run on a wild pitch and Marwin Gonzalez hit the go-ahead RBI single during a three-run rally in the eighth inning , giving the surging Twins a 6-5 victory over the slumping Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.
Polanco, who took over the league lead in batting average at .341, reached base all four times he batted.
Edwin Encarnación gave the Mariners a third-inning lead with a three-run home run off starter Martín Pérez, after reaching the 400-homer mark for his career in the previous game.
The Twins, who entered the evening with the second-most homers in the major leagues, muscled their way back in the fourth inning. Jonathan Schoop hit a two-run home run, and Jason Castro followed with the tying solo shot. That gave the Twins their seventh set of back-to-back homers this year , matching the Mariners for the most in baseball.
