Rosario's 2 HR not enough as Twins fall to Brewers


The Minnesota Twins dropped their fourth of their last five games on Tuesday night as two home runs from Eddie Rosario and three total weren't enough in a 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Twins got off to a great start following their win on Monday night as Jorge Polanco and Rosario smashed solo home runs in the top of the first for an early 2-0 lead.

The Brewers chipped into the lead in the bottom half of the inning thanks to a Avasail Garcia home run, but Rosario extended it in the top of the third, blasting a two-run homer, his third of the series to put the Twins ahead 4-1.
While the Twins appeared ready to use their muscle for another win in Milwaukee, Manny Piña got to the Twins bullpen with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth and a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at 4-4.
The score held until the bottom of the eighth when Taylor Rogers came in to keep the Brewers at bay. But after walking Christian Yelich, Rogers served up a two-run homer to Jedd Gyorko to put the Brewers ahead 6-4.
The Twins had a last gasp after Nelson Cruz walked with two outs in the ninth, but Josh Hader struck out the red-hot Rosario to end the game.
Minnesota will wrap up the three-game series with the Brewers on Wednesday night as they send Kenta Maeda (2-0, 2.65 ERA) to oppose Eric Lauer (0-1, 9.53 ERA) with a 6:10 p.m. first pitch.
