Tristan Gray's Grand Slam Lifts Twins Over Rays

On April 4th, twins kicked off their home season with a solid 10-4 win over the

raise thanks to a massive 7-run 7th inning cap by Tristan Gray's first career

Grand Slam. That line drive just cleared the 23-foot wall in right field, putting

the game away on a chilly, rainy Friday night in Minneapolis. The rally started

with Josh Bell's tie-breaking single, but things got wild after reliever Kevin

Kelly hit Byron Bucksdon on the forearm, forcing the all-star out. X-rays came back

clean, no fracture, so Bucksdon's good to go. Gray also chipped in a sacrifice

fly earlier. Gray snagged the last roster spot as a backup infielder after

smacking three homers in 30 games for the raise last year. The game kicked off an

hour late due to rain and a power outage downtown, with Tim set 38 degrees and

finishing in a downpour. Pitching matchup featured Giants Joe Boyle at 6-foot-aid

for Tampa and Bailey Ober at 6-foot-9 for Minnesota, but it was just okay. Ober

gave up three runs in four innings, while Boyle fan 9, but the raise three

errors didn't help. They lead the majors with 10 already. Cody Funderberg snagged

the win, and tomorrow it's Stephen Mats for Tampa against Mick Abel for the

twins, another chance to build momentum early. That's your update from MLB
