MINNEAPOLIS -- Mitch Garver picked an opportune time to connect on his first Major League homer.
The rookie backup catcher hit a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh inning after Miguel Sano tied the game with a two-run homer in the sixth to help lift the Twins to a 4-2 win over the Mariners in the Target Field opener on a chilly Thursday afternoon that saw a game-time temperature of 38 degrees.
"In a spot like that, that's one I'll never forget," Garver said.
