Wilson Maldonado led Minnesota to a triumph over Washington. The final score was 5-3. The first baseman went 3 for 4, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 2 runs and added 1 RBI. Minnesota is now 28-20, 3½ games up in the American League Central Division.

Minnesota relied on the hitting of Jorge Polanco to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-2. For the game, Polanco had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Anything I can do to help the team win," said Maldonado.
