Rodriguez goes 3-for-4, Leads Twins to Win
No one was more impactful than Emmanuel Rodriguez in the 8-5 Minnesota win over Boston. Rodriguez, who is tied for 6th in the AL in bases on balls with 77, went 3 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Griffin Jax picked up the save for Minnesota, his 28th of the year. The win for the Twins lifted their record to 77-54.

With Minnesota leading 2-0 in the top of the fifth, Rodriguez hit a fastball from Freddy Peralta for a 2-run triple. It was his 5th triple of the season and put the Twins ahead, 4-0.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Rodriguez.
