The Twins don't enjoy being outside of Target Field.
Maybe it's the weather, or the travel. Either way, Minnesota last won a series on the road in early August of last year. Joe Mauer's solo shot on August 13, 2014 helped provide the winning advantage and clinch the series win. Mauer came up big again Sunday, with a two-run triple in the top of the eleventh inning to give the Twins a 4-2 lead.
Glen Perkins continued his late-game dominance, drawing three outs on nine pitches to earn the save and give the Twins the win.
Sunday was one of Mauer's best outings this season.
