Seattle Mariners second baseman Cole Young provided two key hits in clutch situations to secure a 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon at Target Field in Minneapolis. The win clinched the series for Seattle, capped a 5-1 road trip and returned the team to .500 at 16-16. Young's performance extended his RBI streak to six games.
In the seventh inning, Young hit a game-tying RBI double over Byron Buxton's head off starter Taj Bradley. Then in the ninth, he drilled a single between the middle infielders into shallow center, scoring the tying and go-ahead runs against Eric Orze. Cal Raleigh followed with a sacrifice fly, and Andrés Muñoz earned his sixth save to close out the game.
