Twins vs. A's Game Highlights (6/2/25) | MLB Highlights

And it's going to be Seve on the slab this evening for the green and gold that we Severino 13 started the season we told you how well he's been throwing the ball here over his last three outings and for Seve that's just 18 innings pitched three earned runs allowed three balls and two strikes the twins coming into this series twenty fourth in runs per game across Major League Baseball payoff pitch and that's it on a few hops to third Alexander position perfectly fires over to first and Severino a quick one two three first inning Joe Ryan looking for some strikeouts tonight Danny he's been sublime Joe Ryan four and over the one five oh in his last six games forcing fastball has been his bread and butter and he will get a stiff challenge today because this is a team that doesn't just do one thing they hit the ball out of the park but they hit for average Lawrence Butler left handed batting right fielder leads off first pitch to Butler and that's clobbered a deep right ball they're going back and it's off the wall Butler will streak around first and push for second the throw in his cut off and that is how the athletics will start the bottom of the first inning and Butler is a third with one out and Rooker coming up to one ground ball skips right side glove by Clemens comes home to catch the tag and Butler is out. So the contact play was on Ryan inducing a ground ball glove by Clemens and Vasquez applies the tag and Butler is out number two and the A's are running the contact play right here. Clemens was in the perfect spot for this Rooker ground ball and almost look like you double clutched a little bit but he got the throw out in time fired a strike pitch from Joe swung on and pulled towards first grab by France and France looks at Soderstrom who doesn't even walk up the line and finally Ty reaches out and touches the base Soderstrom never even moved whistling pretty good as Correa digs in it's his customary booze that's pulled fair down the left field line for Correa as he will round first base Evans will pick it up prior to second base. Correa is going to slide in safely and there is a second inning one out double and a smile from C4 here Castro five for eleven homer twice double drove in three three and two on Castro this one to the right side and will be gloved on a dive and the throw is not in time. Now Luis Arias he got there in shallow right but Castro no helmet hustling up the line beat the throw and he is safe and Correa moves to third. So Clemens hit by a pitch and that'll bring up Ty France. Big opportunity here for France and the twins as France shoots one to right over the head of a leaping Soderstrom and into the corner for a base hit Correa scores. Here comes Castro throws up the line. He's safe. Clemens goes to third. It's a two run two strike single for Ty France and the twins have an early lead Soderstrom left for it. And if he's a couple inches taller he might have a chance but that one just fluttered over his outstretched glove and it's a pop up out for Vasquez. The two out hitter will be Byron and Bucks France at first and the one one to Byron he swings and skies it to left center deep in the gap. This one traveling to the warning track back pedaling and missing the ball is Evans and left Clemens will score. France will score. Byron stops at second base and Buxton put it in play. There's the dance and the twins add two more and it's for nothing. This warning track is massive. It is not a typical warning track and it's giving outfielders fits you know depending on how fast you're running you're going to have one one and a half two steps before you have to jump and hit the wall. He jumps here he thinks he's going to hit the wall. He doesn't. And now it's Larnach's turn eighth man to bat in the inning pitch on the way swung on and fisted a little loop into shallow left. Bucks is going to steam around second. No need to wave for Tommy Watkins. He just points Byron cruises home it's an RBI single for Trevor Larnach and it's a five run second inning for the Minnesota twins pitch delivered swung on and lined into the gap in right center field. They say they're quick gaps and that one splits the outfielders and rolls all the way to the wall. Trevor Larnach takes the turn. He's going to have a chance to score the throw from Wilson not in time. Larnach scored standing on a Brooksley double. It's six nothing Minnesota twins one to pitch swung on a missed he struck him out. It is vintage Joe Ryan up in the zone and he blew it right by him and there is one away for CJ Alexander and strikes out Alexander again that four Seamer up in the zone especially when you pair it with the pitch he threw before a little split at the bottom of the zone then you go to the four Seamer at the top it's just a diabolical sequence. I mean that pitch looks so good to hit. As Ryan ninety five pints on the corner and Clark on three pitches out number one strikeout number three for Joe Ryan runners at second and third for Rooker with the twins up six nothing they'll stay back here and concede the run to the Rooker ground ball Ryan is able to knock it down goes to his backside slings to first Butler will score ground out RBI for Rooker and the A's are on the board as Wilson moves to third it's six to one. Well Joe did well to knock that ball down and he looked briefly at home plate and then he popped up and threw over to first base and he gets Rooker sets up down and away runner goes and the pitch is called the ball as Ryan thought he hit his spot. So Evans swipes his first stolen to base and Ryan thought he made a perfect pitch and looked to be a strike but the call went Clark's way to two back up the middle and diving Clemens gets to his knee throws to first and Denzel has a hit. If that sneaks through it's the second run for the A's but it is a hit for Clark and he turns it over to the top of the order now with Butler who's reached base twice and has scored a run against Joe Ryan three to pay off pitch Butler sends a charge to deep center field Buxton well we've said it before the zone for natives sends it beyond zone 400 yet again and it is now only a two run Minnesota advantage six to four now with Lawrence Butler's ninth home run of the season and strike three now he gets the call on the outside corner and the inning is over they plate three new score after four it's a twin six and he aged four to me the tempo seems a little off with Joe Ryan right now and the bullpen is moving quickly Brock Stewart is warming up so base is loaded nobody out run expectancy under three runs expected for the offense in spots like this and the three two pitch has popped up twilight time and Correa infield flyers called and there is a big out number one and this is popped up again in the infield Correa battling the conditions will grab it infield fly and there are two down big time pitchers right there for Joe Ryan very quickly Ryan has found his way to get two big outs and it's up to Evans the rookie to try and extend the inning two down and now it's Evans weekly hit to the right side Clemens will glove he'll throw him out and Joe Ryan works out of it nice job Joe Ryan bases loaded nobody out the A's come up empty Correa leads it off for the twins top of the six they lead the A's six four Severino delivers one to pitch and he goes fishing the sweeper strikes out Correa that's the first strikeout of the night for Luis Severino so Clemens with a two out base it snapped a streak of twelve retired in a row and there's Ty France to bat two balls and two strikes so not hit well in the left center field that ball's well stroke not going to be caught one hops off the wall Clemens around second he'll go to third throwback into the infield it'll be a stand up double for Ty France pitch inside for pitch walk that loads him up for Byron Buxton and for the moment it looks like he will remain in the game and face Buxton in the righty righty matchup here what Marquez is absolutely going to give his veteran an opportunity to get out of this inning finish it let's see if Buxton though can deliver hard hit right side into right field a base hit Clemens scores here comes Ty heading home the throw is up the line of Buxton knocks in two and a clutch two out two run swing from number twenty five and it's an eight four twins lead and going to second is Christian Vasquez and now it's Brooks Lee towards the hole and into right field a base hit and Vasquez he will try and score it's bobbled in right by Butler and with that no play and Vasquez scores the ninth twins run second hit for Lee and the twins have a five run lead as Vasquez draws another walk in the bases are loaded with one out for Byron Buxton he swings and skies it to left field but he's in the ballpark for Evans catches made Castro will tag and he will score it's a five RBI night for Byron Buxton and the twins have a 10 4 lead ties a career high for Buxton most RBI in a game fourth time he's done that he has to get to here Clemens to Korea for one the step the throw got him to watch that all day all night watching Korea turn double plays Clemens to Korea on to France to the twins turn a ninth inning double play check swing and he went ballgame over and the twins offense erupts for a 10 spot Byron Buxton drove in half of the 10 a five RBI night for Byron and the twins are back in the win column.
