The San Francisco Giants defeat the Minnesota Twins 5-2 as Drew Gilbert drives in runs with a home run and a two-run single. The win ends the Giants’ three-game losing streak. Gilbert’s contributions extend a lead the Giants build early, with Brett Harris also delivering an RBI single in the first inning.
The game includes a homer from Brooks Lee for the Twins to start the fourth inning. Giants starter Blade Tidwell leaves the game after an additional batter because of elbow discomfort. After Tidwell’s exit, San Francisco maintains its advantage while adding insurance runs, including Gilbert’s two-run hit in the second inning and his solo homer in the fifth.
Both outlets describe the same core sequence—Gilbert’s power and run production, early Giants scoring, and a Twins home run—while noting the pitching change tied to Tidwell’s elbow.
