ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- he Minnesota Twins didn't want to call it a must-win. Still, they know how important it was.
Eduardo Escobar had three hits and three RBI, Brian Dozier and Ehire Adrianza both homered, and the Twins beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-6 on Wednesday.
"It's too early for must-wins," Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. "But given the circumstances of coming off a tough series against the Royals and losing the first two (here), it stymies that negative momentum and hopefully it gets us back on track.
