Twins top Brewers on Carlos Correa's mammoth, walk-off homer
Carlos Correa launched a walk-off home run off star Brewers closer Devin Williams to give the Twins a 7-5 win at Target Field Tuesday night.
Correa hit a rocket that hit off the facing of the second deck in left field, completing a ninth-inning comeback that saw Minnesota rally from a 5-3 deficit with a solo homer by Michael A. Taylor, Donovan Solano's game-tying RBI single and then Correa's winning homer.
The Brewers went ahead 5-3 in the seventh on Christian Yelich's two-run homer off Jose de Leon, who was called in from the bullpen after Pablo Lopez tossed six innings off three-run ball.
Down 5-3 in the eighth, the Twins loaded the bases only for Joey Gallo to strike out looking to end the threat. It was Gallo’s first game after being activated from the injured list.
Minnesota scored two runs in third inning — an RBI fielder’s choice by Carlos Correa and an RBI single by Donovan Solano — and another in the seventh on a solo homer by Kyle Farmer.
