The Minnesota Twins secured a 9-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, with rookie Brooks Lee achieving a career-high five RBIs, including a go-ahead two-run single and a bases-clearing triple. This win allowed the Twins to avoid a series sweep and maintain a 2.5-game lead over the Detroit Tigers for the American League's final wild-card spot. The Reds initially took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning, but the Twins responded with a three-run sixth and a five-run seventh to dominate the game. Ryan Jeffers played a crucial role by tying the game with a two-out double before Lee's contributions helped solidify the win. The Reds, despite their recent performance, remain far from playoff contention, having been eliminated from the postseason race. The Twins will head into a four-game road series against Cleveland, hoping to strengthen their playoff position.
