Beckham led off the game with a double and tripled to lead off the third inning. He came around to score in the third on an RBI single from Daniel Robertson off Twins reliever Brandon Kintzler.
Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts, while right-hander Austin Pruitt got the start for the Rays and threw two scoreless frames with three strikeouts.
"I threw a lot of four-seamers tonight, and worked on the sinker a little bit with the new delivery, especially to the glove side," Gibson said.
