Twins Win Second Straight Walk-Off Over Rays

The Minnesota Twins secured their second consecutive walk-off win against the Tampa Bay Rays, with rookie Brooks Lee executing only his second professional bunt to score Byron Buxton from third and clinch a 6-5 victory on Saturday. Lee's surprise bunt marked the 500th managerial win for Rocco Baldelli. The previous night, Harrison Bader delivered a walk-off homer for the Twins, highlighting their recent resilience following a disappointing road trip. On Saturday, the Twins rallied from a 5-1 deficit, with Kody Clemens hitting a game-tying three-run homer and Jhoan Duran providing key bullpen support. The Twins, now 43-46, have won four straight at home and are just 3.5 games out of a playoff spot, boosting their postseason hopes. Lee is set to return to the starting lineup on Sunday, aiming to improve his recent offensive performance.
