GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Elvis Andrus, Texas

A two-run homer to tie the game, a two-run single to provide the final margin, and great defense the rest of the time.

BY THE NUMBERS

8 Games, of 11 played in June, in which the Twins have been held to two runs or fewer.

3 Tying home runs in the eighth inning or later by Brian Dozier; Friday's was his first since 2013.

8 Strikeouts by lefthander Tommy Milone, the most he has had with the Twins.

ON DECK

Mike Pelfrey will take on the Rangers, and the midday Texas heat, and try to halt the Twins' four-game losing streak.
