Brian Dozier hit his fourth homer in four days, Miguel Sano drove in two runs and the Minnesota Twins handed the Pittsburgh Pirates their first loss of the season with a 7-3 victory at frigid PNC Park.

Dozier hit a home run off the top of the left-field wall in the third inning. Sano finished 3 for 5 and started Minnesota’s four-run rally in the sixth with an RBI single. He added another run-scoring single in the seventh.

The Twins ran their record to 3-2 on the season as they head back to Minnesota for their home opener Thursday afternoon at 3:10 against Seattle.
