MINNEAPOLIS — Kenta Maeda pitched six effective innings, Luis Arraez hit a two-run homer and the Minnesota Twins beat the Tampa Bay Rays 12-0 on Saturday night.
Max Kepler, Brent Rooker and Ryan Jeffers also went deep for the Twins, who won for the third time in four games. Maeda (6-4) allowed three singles, struck out four and walked one.
“All the way around, it was a very nice night at the ballpark,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “We didn’t play our best game yesterday. We came out today and maybe played one of our best games of the year.
