Twins fall to Rays when a one-run game suddenly becomes a rout

Littell was efficient, too. His pitch count by inning: 10, 12, 14, 12, 10 and eight. He was pulled after he plunked Ty France with an errant splitter in the seventh inning. Correa, the next batter, brought the Twins within one run.

The Rays scored four runs in the eighth inning off Kody Funderburk, which included those three straight balls hit toward Larnach in left field.
