MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Carlos Correa hit a two-run homer for Minnesota to cap a four-run ninth inning off closer Devin Williams, giving the Twins a 7-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.Correa crushed a 1-1 changeup from Williams (3-1) into the left-field seats, dropping his bat as he turned to his dugout and tapped his wrist to signal it’s his time, like he did for Houston in the 2021 postseason.Williams, who took his first blown save in 11 attempts, didn’t record an out and had his sparkling 0.42 ERA spike to 2.08.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:34:33 GMT
