Lewis and Victor Caratini led off the bottom half with back-to-back doubles off Mitch Ferris (0-1) and Alan Roden had an RBI single. Woosuk Go, another recent addition to the Twins' struggling bullpen, pitched a a one-hit eighth, and Yoendrys Gómez stranded the tying run on first for his 10th save.

Zach Neto singled twice, stole a base and scored two runs for the Angels, who went 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position. Mike Trout, Wade Meckler and Schanuel each had two hits. Los Angeles starter Ryan Johnson gave up three runs, three hits and three walks in five innings.
