Gilbert Knocks in 3 Runs in Giants' Triumph over Twins
Gilbert drove in three runs and Tristan Beck threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings as San Francisco ended a three-game skid.
On Monday night, Drew Gilbert homered and drove in three runs, powering the San Francisco Giants to a 5-2 interleague victory over the Minnesota Twins and opening their season-ending homestand.
Brett Harris contributed a two-run single in the first inning, while rookie Bo Davidson recorded his first career hit and stolen base in his major league debut, building an early 4-0 lead.
Giants starter Blade Tidwell left the game in the fourth inning with elbow discomfort after allowing one run and three hits while striking out four in 3 1/3 innings.
Tristan Beck earned the win with 2 2/3 hitless innings, while Sam Hentges, Jason Foley, and Trent Harris combined to secure the final 17 outs for San Francisco.
Tidwell will undergo tests Tuesday to assess the elbow injury, while Twins RHP Taj Bradley faces Giants RHP Anthony Molina in tonight's series continuation.
