Suzuki, who has struggled offensively after being an All-Star last year, was the hero, as the game-tying run scored on a wild pitch while he was at the plate before he connected on a 3-1 fastball for a single to left to bring home the winning run.
"Suzuki is one of those guys who has had to battle this year, but he came up there and got a pitch he could hit to left field," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "We needed the win. Wins, we're finding out, are a little tougher, but we found a way to stay in the game, and tonight we were rewarded.
