Minnesota took on New York in front of a lively crowd.

The Minnesota Twins knocked off the New York Mets, 8-4, at Target Field. Emmanuel Rodriguez was a big reason Minnesota won. The right fielder went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Bailey Ober snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits over 2.2 innings. He's now 6-9 on the season. Cole Sands earned the save, his 11th in 14 tries.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Twins grabbed the lead when Rodriguez hit his 20th home run of the season. The 2-run home run off Charlie Morton made it 4-2, Minnesota.

"Good, blue-collar kind of win," said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli.

With the win, the Twins sit at 62-60.
