Late Saturday, after rain, lightning, high winds and perhaps locusts rapidly descended on Target Field, the Twins were one out away from losing for the seventh time in eight games.
They trailed the Giants by two runs in the bottom of the ninth, on a night the Guardians would rally to win and with September looming.
With two outs and one on in the ninth, Luis Arraez walked. Then Carlos Correa drove in a run with a single. Then Jake Cave tied the score with his own RBI single, sending the game into extra innings and toward a Twins victory.
