Rosario's first homer came off Seattle right-hander Christian Bergman, who took the loss after allowing nine earned runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings. He tossed five innings of one-run ball against the Twins in his previous start. But this time around, they exploded for 11 runs in the first three innings, keyed by Rosario's first two homers, as well as shots from Max Kepler and Dozier.
Jason Castro and Kennys Vargas each collected four hits, while Eduardo Escobar notched his first career five-hit game.
It was more than enough to reward starter Kyle Gibson with his third consecutive win, including two straight over the Mariners.
