The game remained tied in the bottom of the ninth until Brooks Lee, who was brought into the game earlier as a pinch hitter, laid down a perfect bunt that scored Byron Buxton for the win.<\/p>\n
After getting a Gatorade bath, Lee told sideline reporter Audra Martin, it’s something he’s worked on.<\/p>\n
“I was surprised too, but any way we can get it done,” said Lee. “I’ve been bunting all my life, that’s west coast baseball.”<\/p>\n
500 wins for Rocco<\/p>\n

This year, Baldelli is trying to get the Twins back on track. After a slow start to the year, the Twins saw a 13-game win streak in May but have come up short in June with a 9-18 record, including some bad blowout losses.<\/p>\n
The Twins are currently 12 games back from the first-place Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.<\/p>\n
