Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) \u2013 The Minnesota Twins had a five-run lead and a chance to salvage the finale of a three-game set on Sunday. They got neither, falling 7-5 to the Philadelphia Phillies at Target Field and getting swept in the process.<\/p>\n
Brooks Lee put Minnesota up 4-0 in the first inning with a grand slam down the right-field line off Phillies starter Andrew Painter, one pitch after pulling a would-be slam just foul. It was Lee\u2019s 18th home run of the season and the second grand slam of his career. Kody Clemens added a solo shot in the third to make it 5-0.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia answered with seven unanswered runs. Alec Bohm hit a three-run homer as part of a four-run sixth off Twins starter Dean Kremer, who went five and a third innings and gave up four earned runs while striking out six.<\/p>\n
Bohm tied the game at five with a bloop single in the eighth, and Bryan De La Cruz followed with a roller that snuck past first baseman Royce Lewis and the bag to plate two more.<\/p>\n
Andrew Morris was charged with the loss and gave up all three eighth-inning runs on four hits. It was a rough outing for a reliever who had allowed just two earned runs across 28 and a third innings in his previous 27 appearances dating back to June 12th.<\/p>\n
Former Twins closer Jhoan Duran finished it off against his old club for his 26th save of the season.<\/p>\n
Minnesota has dropped four of its last five and is 4-10 in August. The Twins host the Atlanta Braves tonight at 6:40 p.m., with Bailey Ober scheduled to start opposite Braves left-hander Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) \u2013 The Minnesota Twins had a five-run lead and a chance to salvage the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":781275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2397],"tags":[5,4,144,25,4216,40],"class_list":["post-781274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia-phillies","tag-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-philadelphiaphillies","tag-phillies"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117112075876767153","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781274","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=781274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/781275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=781274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=781274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
