Geovany Soto followed Garcia's home run with one of his own off Haley, who pitched 3 2/3 innings in relief of Mejia. The latter was pulled after just 1 2/3 innings after giving up three runs (two earned) on two hits.
The back-to-back homers came after Jason Castro launched a two-run long ball for the Twins in the sixth to make it a one-run game. The two-run homer was the lone blemish for Gonzalez, who surrendered two runs on seven hits, with six strikeouts over six innings.
Moments that mattered
Back-to-back blasts: Minnesota's bullpen hadn't allowed an earned run this season entering Saturday's game, and the Twins got back into the game thanks to Castro's two-run homer.
