The Minnesota Twins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 in a Friday night game featuring three home runs off Cardinals reliever Ryne Stanek. Minnesota’s Kody Clemens led off the scoring surge by hitting his 10th home run, driving a third-pitch offering from Stanek to tie the game at 7 after Stanek entered in the seventh with runners on and two outs. Stanek then remains in the game for the eighth inning, where he again allows extra-base damage. Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis both homer in the eighth, with Lewis hitting his fifth home run on the first pitch he sees to tie the score at 8. The Twins’ late-inning power provides the margin as Minnesota outlasts St. Louis in a close finish. Stanek is credited with taking the loss, while the Twins’ late homers from Clemens, Lewis, and Lee are central to the outcome.
