DENVER (AP) — Royce Lewis hit two home runs — his first career multihomer game — and Joe Ryan struck out 11 in seven innings as the Minnesota Twins beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 on Sunday to prevent a three-game sweep.
Coming off his first All-Star appearance, Ryan (10-4) gave up one run and five hits with no walks. The right-hander worked a scoreless fourth inning with two strikeouts in the All-Star Game last Tuesday night at Atlanta.
Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran each threw a scoreless inning of relief for the Twins.
Matt Wallner hit a two-run homer off starter Germán Márquez (3-11) in the third and Harrison Bader added a solo shot for the Twins.
Willi Castro tripled leading off the ninth and scored on a throwing error by shortstop Orlando Arcia to make it 7-1.
Mickey Moniak homered in the third for Colorado. Jordan Beck and Ryan McMahon each had two hits.
Key moment
Castro drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a groundout by Carlos Correa and scored on a triple by Kody Clemens before Wallner’s homer gave the Twins a 3-1 lead in the third.
Key stats
Minnesota racked up 12 hits — six for extra bases — and Twins pitchers had 13 strikeouts.
Up next
The Twins hadn’t announced a starter yet for Monday against Shohei Ohtani (0-0, 1.00 ERA) and the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
The Rockies begin a three-game set against St. Louis.
