MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins clubbed a pair of tape measure home runs, including a go-ahead blast in the eighth by Brian Dozier to edge the Rays by a score of 5-3 on Saturday at Target Field.
Dozier launched a 2-1 fastball from Rays righty Tommy Hunter just below the upper deck in right-center to give Minnesota its first lead of the series. According to Statcast™, the ball traveled an estimated 423 ft with an exit velocity of 104.5 mph. It is tied for his longest projected homer of the season.
Earlier in the game, Eddie Rosario deposited a baseball in the upper deck himself.
