Third baseman Miguel Rojas dropped Lewis\u2019 ground ball with two runners on base in the second inning; shortstop Mookie Betts picked it up, but his throw to second base was off the mark, allowing the game\u2019s first run to score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Christian V\u00e1zquez followed with a double to the center field wall, driving two runs home and collecting his first RBIs since he homered on June 8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cThey pay me for that,\u201d V\u00e1zquez said with a smile. \u201cIt\u2019s fun. Every time you can do something to help the team, it\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">In the sixth inning, L.A. reliever Ben Casparius faced four batters, giving up a Ty France double and three walks, the last of them to Lewis. He departed to loud boos from the home crowd, and Alexis Diaz, making his big-league debut, retired Harrison Bader on a roller to third base that Rojas could only throw to first, allowing Carlos Correa to score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Vazquez then singled in a run, giving him five hits in his last two games, and his second three-RBI game of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">An inning later, righthander Will Klein walked Correa, France and Matt Wallner to load the bases with one out. Edgardo Henriquez was summoned to relieve Klein, and wound up making the biggest mistake of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But the Dodgers kept contributing to the Twins\u2019 offense.
