ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The theme of the Twins' three-game series at Tampa Bay was lopsided scoring. And the Twins were yet again on the winning side of that Sunday.
The Twins beat the Rays, 9-3, at Tropicana Field, posting five runs in the first inning. Saturday, the Twins won 9-1, a day after they had a seven-game winning streak end in a 6-1 loss in which the Rays struck for four first-inning runs.
The Twins have won nine of their past 10 games to improve to 13-9 as they make their way north for a four-game series with the Orioles starting Monday. The Rays fell to 12-10.
