Minnesota Twins' Carlos Correa hits an RBI single against the Toronto Blue Jays during the fourth inning of Game 2 of an AL wild-card baseball playoff series Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023, in Minneapolis.

That’s familiar territory for Correa, who spent seven seasons with the Astros before signing with Minnesota in 2022 and re-upping for $200 million this year. Correa helped Houston reach three World Series, winning it all in 2017, and he’s one round into another memorable October.The two-time All-Star, who went 3 for 7 with a hit-by-pitch against the Blue Jays, ripped a bases-loaded single in a two-run fourth.

“One run in two games, one extra-base hit isn’t going to cut it,” Toronto manager John Schneider said. “They didn’t do much today. Only hit one ball in the air. Some ground balls found some holes. This time of the year, it’s timely hitting.” Gray threw a wild pitch that put runners on second and third. But with a full count on Bo Bichette, Gray whipped around and threw to the shortstop Correa, who grabbed the ball and grazed Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s chest with his glove a split-second before Guerrero’s hand hit the base.

The sellout crowd of 38,518 was even more into the action than in Game 1, standing in anticipation of every inning-ending out for the Twins and thriving off the bulldog energy that Gray brought to the mound. He finished third in the major leagues in ERA during the regular season and logged 184 innings, his most since 2015.
