Rosario gives Twins a lead in a pinch
Eddie Rosario hit a pinch-hit two-run home run in the seventh inning that turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead in the Twins’ victory over the Rays. It was the first pinch-hit home run that turned a deficit into a lead for the Twins since Matt LeCroy hit one in Toronto on May 19, 2004. LeCroy’s blow was slightly more dramatic than Rosario’s; it was a grand slam in the ninth inning that turned a three-run deficit into a lead.
