Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach hit consecutive home runs for Minnesota in the first inning off Seattle starter George Kirby, and the Twins hung on to beat the Mariners 6-3 and help Chris Paddack win his fourth straight start on Wednesday night.
Willi Castro went deep in the second and hit an RBI triple in the fourth that put the Twins in front by three, giving Paddack enough fuel to extend his career-long winning streak.The right-hander, who missed most of the previous two seasons recovering from elbow reconstruction, matched his Twins best with 10 strikeouts while pitching into the sixth. He allowed a solo homer to Mitch Garver, the only run against him.
But Jax pitched a perfect eighth to bridge the gap to Jhoan Duran who got his third save with a perfect ninth inning after Ryan Jeffers and Max Kepler hit RBI doubles in the eighth to pad the lead.The Mariners went 1 for 7 with three strikeouts with runners in scoring position."It’s just really hard to get rallies going and sustain any momentum when we’re not putting the ball in play," manager Scott Servais said.
