The only Minnesota Twins player to benefit from the 15-inning, 8-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday might just have been first baseman Joe Mauer, who may have hoped the game would’ve continued for another 15 innings.
He reached safely in seven — yes, seven — of his eight plate appearances, finishing 4 of 5 with three walks, two RBI and a run scored.
It was the first time Mauer had reached base seven times in one game. In fact, he’s reached safely six times just once — way back on Aug.
