The Diamondbacks led 4-0 after two innings, but the Twins came back against Brandon Pfaadt. Byron Buxton, who just missed catching Eugenio Suárez’s second-inning RBI triple at the wall in right center, led off the Twins’ fifth with a home run to left-center. In the bottom half, Jorge Alcala retired the first two hitters, but he walked No. 9 batter Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll’s single to center advanced Perdomo to third. Marte then hit one just past the mound and beat Willi Castro’s throw to first as Perdomo crossed the plate.
“His last couple of starts, his arm didn’t feel great,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “Coming off of the two and everything that goes along with it, the last thing we want to do is push him out there in a compromised position.”
