Jonathan Aranda and Yandy Diaz drove in two runs apiece, and the Tampa Bay Rays cruised to a 7-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Ben Williamson and Hunter Feduccia added one RBI apiece for the Rays, who evened the three-game series at one win apiece with the rubber match set for Sunday. Cedric Mullins and Chandler Simpson finished with two hits apiece.<\/p>\n

Brooks Lee drove in the lone run for Minnesota. The Twins managed only three hits, none of which went for extra bases.<\/p>\n

Rays left-hander Steven Matz (2-0) allowed one run on two hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out eight.<\/p>\n

Twins right-hander Mick Abel (0-2) surrendered four runs on six hits in four innings. He walked three and struck out three before giving way to the bullpen.<\/p>\n

The Rays jumped to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second as Abel struggled early with his command. He hit Richie Palacios with a pitch to load the bases, and then he plunked Diaz to bring in the first run. Aranda ripped a two-run double in the next at-bat to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Matt Wallner led off the bottom of the second with a single and scored later in the inning on an error after Lee\u2019s single to center. That cut the Twins\u2019 deficit to 3-1.<\/p>\n

The Rays added a run in the third to go ahead 4-1. Mullins led off the inning with a bunt single before stealing second, advancing to third on a single by Simpson and scoring on a double-play groundout by Williamson.<\/p>\n

In the fifth, Tampa Bay scored two more runs to increase its lead to 6-1. Williamson ripped an RBI single to score Mullins, and Feduccia hit an RBI single to right to score Williamson.<\/p>\n

Diaz added an RBI triple in the eighth to increase the Rays\u2019 lead to 7-1. It was his first triple of the season and the eighth of his 10-year career.<\/p>\n
