MINNEAPOLIS -- Brian Dozier crushed a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th on Sunday to give the Twins an 11-7 win over the Rays at Target Field and end the first half of the season in dramatic fashion.
Minnesota staged a seventh-inning rally, lost their lead, and then delivered an eighth-inning rally, with a pair of bench-clearing altercations thrown in for good measure. Tampa Bay answered back each time to tie the game before Dozier ultimately delivered the game-winning blast.
Tampa Bay took an early lead and were in good shape to salvage a series split, but will now head into the All-Star Break having been dealt a 3-1 series loss.
