  "account": "MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pitcher Alan Roden connected for a crucial double as the Minnesota Twins staged a rally, beating the Baltimore Orioles 7-5 on Wednesday and securing their series win. Minnesota's seven batters drove in a run, leading their comeback effort. The Minnesota Twins (60-62) are currently one game behind the Texas Rangers in the race for the final AL wild-card spot. They have won six consecutive series at Target Field. Down by four runs in the third inning, Kody Clemens contributed an RBI single, followed by Luke Keaschall's sacrifice fly and Victor Caratini's single to tie the score at four. Roden then delivered the decisive blow with a double that scored Brooks Lee, clinching the lead for good. Trevor Larnach added an RBI groundout, while Royce Lewis drove in the Twins' final run with a double. Josh Bell opened the scoring for Minnesota in the first inning with a single. Zebby Matthews (6-8) pitched five innings, allowing four runs on six hits and striking out four. Yoendrys Gómez earned his 17th save after allowing a run in the ninth inning. Baltimore's Jackson Holliday took an early lead, and Dylan Beavers extended the Orioles' advantage to 4-1 in the third inning with a three-run homer. Beavers' first home run since April 24. Leody Taveras added a ninth-inning homer to cap the scoring. Shane Baz (4-12) had a short outing, pitching three innings and giving up five runs on nine hits during the game.",
