Joey Meneses homered in the seventh inning and the Washington Nationals produced rare offense late in the game with a two-run rally in the eighth to squeak past the Minnesota Twins 3-2 on Friday night in cold Minneapolis.
The Nationals' late two-out rally gave them their first lead all night. They won for just the second time in their last eight games. The Twins have dropped five of their last six.
Minnesota starting pitcher Tyler Mahle was unscathed through six innings before surrendering the home run to Meneses. That was one of three hits he allowed in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter. So the Nationals hadn't scored since Sunday when Meneses' seventh-inning homer cut their deficit to 2-1. It was his first homer of the season, coming in his 18th game.
