Twins fall to Mariners in 12 on walk-off homer

SEATTLE -- The Twins' struggles in one-run games continued Saturday night in Seattle, this time in stomach-turning fashion, as Minnesota fell, 4-3, in 12 innings when Mariners catcher Mike Zunino hit a walk-off solo homer off reliever Matt Magill.

With the loss, Minnesota dropped to 3-10 this season in one-run affairs and 21-26 overall.

The drama came well after Twins starter Jake Odorizzi had built a 2-0 lead through five shutout innings. But in the bottom of sixth, Odorizzi yielded a leadoff homer to Jean Segura, then a two-run homer to Nelson Cruz later in the frame that ultimately knocked Odorizzi from the game and provided Seattle the go-ahead run.
