The Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 in 10 innings on Thursday night after rallying from a late lead. Mike Trout drives in the tying run with an RBI single in the 10th, and Wade Meckler adds a winning RBI single to complete the Angels’ two-run frame.
The game stays tied entering the ninth before Minnesota takes advantage. Twins rookie Walker Jenkins hits a two-out, two-run homer in the top of the ninth to make it 3-3, then Minnesota scores again in the 10th on Brooks Lee’s RBI single, taking a 4-3 lead. The Angels respond with Kody Clemens’ sacrifice bunt putting runners on second and third with one out. Blake Weiman limits Minnesota in the bottom half by getting Josh Bell to pop out and striking out Royce Lewis after an intentional walk of pinch-hitter Ryan Jeffers, ending the threat.
Both outlets describe the same key sequence of late scoring and the 10th-inning turnaround, with Angels production led by Trout and Meckler and the Twins’ late runs coming from Jenkins and Lee.
