The Minnesota Twins topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-2, in American League action at Target Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Minnesota pitcher Ryan Pepiot. In 6.2 innings, Pepiot surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 10 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. With the win, Minnesota upped its record to 52-44.

Minnesota first baseman Triston Casas contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 86th hit of the season and put the Twins ahead, 3-1.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Casas told the Minnesota Bulletin. "It's as simple as that."
