Brusdar Graterol was credited with the save, his 20th in 22 tries.

Trillo had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a 1-0 slider from Kevin Tapani, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Twins a 6-3 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Trillo.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Trillo.
