Chris Taylor added to his remarkable season and current hot stretch, driving in two as part of a four-run fourth inning that led to the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the Minnesota Twins, 6-2. The Dodgers improved their MLB-best home record to 43-13 and are now on a four-game winning streak.
The Twins were first to score, which was sparked by a Jorge Polanco leadoff walk in the third inning, followed by Jason Castro’s single. The baserunner and hit were the first Maeda allowed in the game.
He nearly stranded both runners by striking out the next two batters faced, but Zack Granite lined an RBI single into center field.
