Twins secure sweep with walk-off win in 12th

MINNEAPOLIS -- Oswaldo Arcia hit a single off closer Huston Street in the 12th inning to lift the Twins to a 3-2 walk-off win and complete a three-game sweep of the Angels on Sunday at Target Field.

With Byron Buxton at second base with two outs after a stolen base, Arcia lifted a fly ball into the left-field corner just out of the reach of a diving Rafael Ortega. It allowed Buxton to score the winning run in Minnesota's first walk-off win of the season.

The Angels scored early on a two-run blast from Albert Pujols in the first inning, but couldn't get anything going offensively after that, as they didn't have a hit after the fourth inning.
