Overview

• Home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez ejected Padres starter Nestor Cortes during a mound visit, and replacement Wandy Peralta saw two inherited runs score on Jake Cronenworth’s error as Minnesota batted around.
• The lineup’s bottom four — Austin Martin, Royce Lewis, Kody Clemens and Trevor Larnach — produced eight hits and six runs, and the Twins stole four bases.
• Byron Buxton secured a 20-20 season with his first career steal of third, becoming the seventh Twin to reach the mark and the first since 2014.
• Zebby Matthews delivered six innings with three runs allowed and no walks to earn the win, and Kody Funderburk recorded his second career save.
• San Diego closed to 7-4 on Fernando Tatis Jr.’s two-run single before Luis Arraez lined into an inning-ending double play, and the series continues with Nick Pivetta set to face Taj Bradley.
