Minnesota starter Luis Esquivel kept the Mexico City offense from doing much damage. The left-hander leaned on his cutter in leading the Twins to a 4-1 win. Esquivel yielded 1 run over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 9. His record improves to 7-9. Jahlil Phinazee, credited with the save, is now 10 for 12 in save opportunities.

Luis Polanco hit a run-scoring double off Ben Miller in the bottom of the sixth, which put the Twins in front, 2-1. In addition to the double, Polanco had 2 singles and 1 walk, while going 3 for 3.

Polanco called the win a testament to his team's "grit."

Minnesota leads the American League Central Division by 10 games.
