MINNEAPOLIS — Mariners manager Scott Servais wasn’t going to let this win get away. He called on his closer Edwin Diaz to put in extra work on Wednesday night. The young right-hander did just that, recording a four-out save and securing Seattle’s 6-4 win over the Twins at Target Field.
It wasn’t without drama. Diaz allowed two runners to reach with one out in the ninth. But he struck out Eddie Rosario and got the dangerous Brian Dozier to fly out to center to notch his 11th save of the season.
With the win, Seattle improves to 33-34 on the season.
