TWINS GET A BREAK, THEN BREAK PADRES' SPIRITS


LATE BURST TURNS CLOSE ONE INTO BOUNCEBACK WIN FOR MINNESOTA

July 31st, 2022

SAN DIEGO -- The busting of a slump can come in a variety of different shapes
and sizes. It might take an offensive outburst by the entire team, the club’s
star slugger smashing a few homers, or perhaps the staff ace delivering a
“stopper” performance on the mound.

This is new one, though: How about an umpire knocking down a baseball?

The Padres should have erased a one-run deficit in the seventh inning on
Saturday at Petco Park, when Jurickson Profar hit a liner destined for the
right-center field gap with the tying run on second base. Instead, second-base
umpire Jerry Layne couldn’t get out of the way of the ball, knocking it down and
keeping it in the infield, holding the runner and preserving Minnesota's lead.

Baseball works in awfully mysterious ways, because the Twins looked like a
different team after that, escaping that jam with the lead intact, then piling
on for a 7-4 win over the Padres. It’s too early to make any grand
proclamations, but it seemingly put them on the right path to reversing the
fortunes of their consecutive big losses from Wednesday and Friday that had the
club preaching urgency and the need for soul-searching to get back to playing
its best baseball.




“Oh, yeah, that was great," Carlos Correa said of Layne's accidental
involvement in the key moment. “He was our player of the game today. Yeah,
Jerry, he got smoked. And he was hurting after. He was telling me how much he
was hurting. It was good to get that break.”

“We have a break go our way, which is maybe what we need at this point,” Twins
starter Sonny Gray said.



For as much as Layne was hurting, the Padres were no doubt hurting more after
that. What should have been a tie game instead turned into Twins reliever
Griffin Jax striking out Manny Machado and inducing a popout from Eric Hosmer
to leave the tying run on second. The Twins immediately took advantage, erupting
for a five-run eighth inning to create some separation -- with plenty of
encouraging moments throughout.




Correa plated Luis Arraez with a two-run blast to center field, with the pair
celebrating the round-tripper by sharing a big hug at home plate. After Byron
Buxton singled, he stole second base, something the Twins haven’t seen much of
lately because of the care his balky right knee has required throughout the
season. It marked the star center fielder’s third stolen base of the season, and
his first since July 5.



"It's a good sign,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “We'll take that."

They got another break to go their way when Padres second baseman C.J. Abrams
made an errant throw on a potential double play to extend the inning -- and took
further advantage with opposite-field RBI knocks from Jose Miranda and Nick
Gordon. The five runs marked the Twins’ largest scoring output in an inning
since July 16, a full two weeks ago, and it further helped when bullpen ace
Jhoan Duran followed with an easy 11-pitch inning, marking only his second
clean appearance within his last seven.

The Twins have talked about the need to play their best baseball on a more
consistent basis after getting outscored by 15 runs across their last two games
while facing playoff-caliber opponents -- and when the Padres opened that door,
they rushed through.

"You know what? It may have gone our way, but we also took advantage of an
opportunity late in the game and piled on some runs and put the game to where it
was going to be in our favor when we put those runs on the board,” Baldelli
said. “We had to do something like that.”



It wasn’t a clean, convincing game from start to finish, as Gray dealt with
traffic in all five of his innings, the club committed a pair of errors in the
field, and both Trevor Megill and Tyler Duffey ran into speedbumps in relief.

But there was also the crisp defense at meaningful times, the clutch escapes
when needed, and, most importantly, the offense taking advantage when afforded
an opportunity by the opposition. It’s too early to say that the ship has been
righted -- but it’s a start.

"This was a good step,” Baldelli said. “It was a good step for us. … We did a
lot of good things. We're playing a good team right now, and it was a good win.
That's what we were looking for. Coming out of yesterday, this is what we were
looking for.”
