On Wednesday evening the Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres battled in the second game of their midweek series.
Both starting pitchers had quality starts in the game. Minnesota’s Pablo Lopez tossed six ⅓ innings with eight strikeouts while only giving up one run. San Diego’s Seth Lugo had a similar outing, going six inning innings with five strikeouts, but gave up two runs. Both pitchers would end up with no-decisions.
The Twins would begin the scoring with a 415 foot Max Kepler solo home run in the first inning. Then in the third inning Carlos Correa would drive in Kepler on a double, making it 2-0 Minnesota.
