PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Alex Jackson\u2019s single tied the game in the seventh and the go-ahead run scored on an error, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 4-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The rally spoiled the major-league debut of Arizona\u2019s Jos\u00e9 Cabrera. Called up to make the start Sunday, the 24-year-old Dominican held the Twins to three hits in five-plus innings, including a strikeout of Byron Buxton with two on and two out to end the third inning. He struck out three.<\/p>\n
Cabrera threw 62 pitches, 42 for strikes, and was pulled after Jackson\u2019s bunt single leading off the sixth.<\/p>\n
Royce Lewis led off the seventh with a single. Juan Morillo (2-4) retired the next two hitters, then Ryan Kreidler singled with Lewis going to third. Pinch-hitter Josh Bell singled to drive in Minnesota\u2019s first run, then Jackson singled to right to make it 2-2. Corbin Carroll\u2019s throw to third hit Bell as he slid and got past Nolan Arenado, which allowed Bell to score.<\/p>\n
Cody Laweryson (1-0) pitched the sixth and picked up his first major-league victory. Anthony Banda pitched the ninth for his second save.<\/p>\n
Trevor Larnach added an RBI double in the ninth. Kreidler had three of the Twins\u2019 11 hits, following up a three-hit, four-RBI performance Saturday in a 16-8 win over Arizona. The Twins have won six of their last seven games.<\/p>\n
Ketel Marte drove in both Diamondbacks runs in the second with a double, one of six hits off Twins starter Mike Peredes. He walked three and struck out one in five innings.<\/p>\n
