Emilio Pagan worked around two walks in 19 occasions to pitch a scorer for its 17th Save.

Minnesota’s right -handed starter David Festa set the first eight Cincinnati batsmen before walking Matt McClen with two outsiders in the third.

The third baseless Christian Encarnasian-Strand threw the base high on the two-out grounder by Tie France in the sixth. It opened the door to an RBI single from Larnach and the go-forward three-un homer by the bed.
The game was stopped 15 minutes before the third lower part of the third, as the home plate umpire Tony Randazo left the game in the convention protocol after taking a foul tip from Tyler Stephenson to the mask in the lower part of the other. The second base umpire Clint Wondrak took place behind the Randzo plate.
