\u201cFinishing a major league season, which is a long year, on a strong note, continually taking the ball and showing up and doing it is a real thing,\u201d Baldelli said. \u201cThere is a physical element to it. There is a mental side of it. Before you can know you can do it, you\u2019ve got to go out there and do it. Zebby is doing that now.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Twins, on a night in which temperatures dipped below 60 degrees, handed Matthews a two-run lead in the first inning. Larnach dropped a single into center, extending his on-base streak to a career-high 14 games, and Luke Keaschall<\/a> lined an RBI double to left field. Larnach, already running on a full-count pitch, scored easily from first base. <\/p>\n

Matt Wallner<\/a> followed with a single to right field. Keaschall briefly stopped at third until he saw Baldwin, the White Sox\u2019s right fielder, fumble the ball. Keaschall scored on the error. <\/p>\n

The Twins squandered some opportunities to add to their lead. They left the bases loaded in the fourth inning. Buxton hit a leadoff triple in the fifth inning, but he was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on a dribbler to the mound. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cFinishing a major league season, which is a long year, on a strong note, continually taking the ball…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-117811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
