Following Gibson's exit, Justin Upton crushed a three-run homer off Twins lefty Taylor Rogers. According to Statcast™, Upton's 16th home run traveled an estimated 411 feet with an exit velocity of 101.4 mph. All-Star closer Brandon Kintzler tallied the final four outs, which rewarded him with his 27th save of the season. Kintzler was helped by a great defensive play from left fielder Eddie Rosario to open the ninth, as Jose Iglesias laced a ball down the left-field line, but was thrown out at second by Rosario for the first out.
