MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Ryan Kreidler\u2019s RBI double off the center-field wall in the eighth inning scored Luke Keaschall and completed the Minnesota Twins\u2019 comeback in a 5-4 win against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Kreidler had a pinch-hit single and scored the tying run in the seventh for Minnesota, which took two of three games in the series. Victor Caratini hit a two-run homer for the Twins in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Andrew Morris (2-2) pitched a scoreless inning of relief, striking out three of the four batters he faced. Yoendrys G\u00f3mez earned his sixth save of the season and fifth with the Twins.<\/p>\n
Kreidler made a diving stop and throw from shortstop in the ninth to get Jos\u00e9 Ferm\u00edn at first after a successful replay challenge by Minnesota manager Derek Shelton.<\/p>\n
Byron Buxton had three hits for the Twins and drove in a run during the seventh-inning rally.<\/p>\n
St. Louis reliever George Soriano (3-1) gave up one run and three hits in 1 2\/3 innings. He allowed the tying run to score in the seventh after inheriting a bases-loaded jam from JoJo Romero with one out.<\/p>\n
JJ Wetherholt and Alec Burleson homered for the Cardinals. Michael McGreevy allowed two runs in six innings. <\/p>\n
McGreevy has given up two runs or fewer 10 times in 14 starts this season but hasn\u2019t won since May 8.<\/p>\n
Wetherholt had a two-run homer, his 10th, and an RBI single. Burleson opened the scoring with his 13th home run of the season in the fourth. He’s homered in five of his past six games and has a career-high 14-game hitting streak.<\/p>\n
