Angels Come Up Short at Minnesota, 6-5
The Minnesota Twins did just enough to sneak past the Los Angeles Angels, 6-5, at Target Field. Minnesota pitcher Brandon Dixon, in particular, had a standout performance. George Dawson got credit for the win, improving to 6-1. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits in 2 innings. The first-place Twins have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

Minnesota took a 6-5 lead on Mariano González's 26th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which González hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Los Angeles pitcher William Main shaking his head.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," González told the Minnesota Observer.
