Mejia, Dozier help Twins edge Rays

"It was a must-win as far as the pressure building to win at home for us," Dozier said. "Now we have a chance to win the series. Good teams find ways, we were down early in the game. It was a big win."

Earlier in the game, Eddie Rosario deposited a baseball in the upper deck himself. Per Statcast™, his fourth inning solo shot traveled an estimated 426 feet, which marked his furthest homer of the year and longest since a 446-foot dinger on July 9 of last year.
