Matt Wallner hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to rally the Minnesota Twins to a 5-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.
With the score tied, Wallner drove a 0-1 fastball by Arizona reliever Paul Sewald 415 feet over the wall in right-center to drive in Jorge Polanco, who had walked.
Carlos Correa had a two-run single and Edouard Julien reached base four times with a single and three walks for Minnesota. Caleb Thielbar picked up the win in relief despite allowing a go-ahead home run to Christian Walker in the top of the ninth. Walker, Jake McCarthy and Carson Kelly also had two hits apiece for the Diamondbacks, who lost for the 14th time in their last 17 games despite setting a single-game franchise record with eight stolen bases.
Minnesota took a 2-1 lead in the sixth against Arizona starter Zac Gallen. Willi Castro doubled with one out and went to third on a wild pitch. One out later, Julien walked and stole second. Correa then drove in both Castro and Julien with a soft line single to left.
