MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Eugenio Su\u00e1rez hit a two-run double, Brandon Williamson allowed one run in 5 1\/3 innings and the Cincinnati Reds edged the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Williamson (2-1) gave up three hits, struck out two and walked four. Emilio Pag\u00e1n pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save.<\/p>\n
Twins starter Joe Ryan (2-2) allowed two runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 and three hits and had six strikeouts in six innings.<\/p>\n
Josh Bell had two of Minnesota’s five hits \u2014 all singles. The Twins went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position and left nine runners stranded.<\/p>\n
With the game scoreless in the fourth, Elly De La Cruz doubled on a line drive to the warning track and advanced to third when Sal Stewart reached on a throwing error by third baseman Ryan Kreidler. After Stewart stole second, Su\u00e1rez doubled to center to give Cincinnati a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Brooks Lee, Kreidler and Byron Buxton walked to load the bases in the fifth. Lee scored on a sacrifice fly by Austin Martin to make it 2-1, but Williamson got Luke Keaschall to ground into an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play.<\/p>\n
Williamson also struck out Keaschall with the bases loaded to end the third.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati’s Andrew Abbott (0-2, 5.85 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday against Taj Bradley (3-0, 1.25) in the second of a three-game series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Eugenio Su\u00e1rez hit a two-run double, Brandon Williamson allowed one run in 5 1\/3 innings…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":678401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2400],"tags":[2001,4992,5,12054,2223,535,50,4259,1177,1105,92,1455,3541,413,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,22880,83365,536,85923,13629,6513,763],"class_list":{"0":"post-678400","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cincinnati-reds","8":"tag-andrew-abbott","9":"tag-austin-martin","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-brandon-williamson","12":"tag-byron-buxton","13":"tag-cincinnati","14":"tag-cincinnati-reds","15":"tag-cincinnatireds","16":"tag-elly-de-la-cruz","17":"tag-emilio-pagan","18":"tag-eugenio-suarez","19":"tag-joe-ryan","20":"tag-josh-bell","21":"tag-luke-keaschall","22":"tag-mlb","23":"tag-package-100024-ap-online","24":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","25":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","26":"tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","27":"tag-product-40793-ap-minnesota-sports-only","28":"tag-product-40806-ap-ohio-sports-only","29":"tag-reds","30":"tag-reds-twins-score","31":"tag-ryan-kreidler","32":"tag-sal-stewart","33":"tag-taj-bradley"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=678400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/678401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=678400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=678400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=678400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
