Yastrzemski drew a walk in the second inning, then drove in a run with a base hit in the third before stealing second. He was later hit by a pitch in the sixth, then drove in another run with a single in the eighth and scored on a base hit by Heliot Ramos. The 33-year-old outfielder is slashing .244/.321/.433 with eight homers, 32 runs scored, and 33 RBI across 266 plate appearances.
After drawing a walk in the first inning, Chapman put the Giants on the board with a leadoff homer off Tyler Glasnow in the fourth. He later drew another walk to start the eighth inning and scored on a single by Mike Yastrzemski. Chapman knocked in a run with a base hit before the inning was over as the Giants bat around the order. The 31-year-old third baseman is hitting .233/.324/.411 with 14 homers, 69 runs scored, 45 RBI, and 11 steals across 429 plate appearances.
Opening the bottom of the ninth in a tie game, Duran gave up a well-placed 88.8 mph flyball to the right-center gap. Mike Yastrzemski tried stretching the hit into a triple, and relay man Brooks Lee threw the ball into the dugout to end the game. The run was unearned, of course.
The Twins didn't have Yastrzemski played to pull, so his modest flyball to the right-center gap barely eluded a diving Manuel Margot and got by him, Yastrzemski went for three on the play, and the Twins threw the relay away, allowing him to score the winning run. It was Yaz's third hit to go along with one walk in the game. He has eight hits in four games, giving him a .241 average and .752 OPS to end the half. The only previous day this season that he had a better mark in either category was May 2, when he briefly raised his average to .242.
As he often does, Duran made it look easy in this one, getting Michael Conforto on a swinging third strike, LaMonte Wade Jr. on a ground ball to second base and Mike Yastrzemski on a ground ball to shortstop to end it. The 26-year-old hurler now boasts a 2.93 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 29/10 K/BB ratio over 30 2/3 innings on the season to go along with five victories and 15 saves.
