Take out the seventh inning in this game, and it would’ve ended 2-1. But I don’t have such powers. Even if I did, I’d be responsible and only use them for the betterment of society.
TJ Friedl ($4,300; 26 FPTS) opened up the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning.
Byron Buxton ($4,800; 16 FPTS) equalized with a solo shot in the fifth inning.
Then the seventh inning happened.
Friedl started things off with a squeeze.
Ty France ($3,300; 9 FPTS) then doubled in Friedl.
After a walk, two strikeouts and another walk, Elly De La Cruz ($6,200; 20 FPTS) stepped into the batter’s box with the bases loaded, then unloaded on the first pitch he saw and sent it over the right field fence for his first-career grand slam.
Minnesota did answer back in the bottom of the inning with two singles that drove in three, but Friedl had another RBI-single in the eighth inning to ice the game. Friedl finished the night with three hits, three RBI and two runs scored.
Bailey Ober ($8,600; 12.2 FPTS) was cruising until that fateful seventh inning. He ended the night with six strikeouts, two walks and five earned runs on six hits.
