The game winning RBI hasn’t been kept as a stat since 1988, but Oswaldo Arcia unofficially has two straight GWRBI against the Los Angeles Angels. After yesterday’s tie-breaking home run in the 8th inning, today he singled home Byron Buxton in the bottom of the 12th inning to secure Minnesota’s third consecutive win after opening the season 0-9.
Everything seemed to be going against the Twins. They finally got what looked to be a clutch hit with a runner in scoring position with two outs, but Eduardo Nunez was thrown out at home after Joe Mauer‘s single in the 7th inning.
