MINNEAPOLIS — Tucker Barnhart and Eugenio Suárez had RBI singles during a three-run 10th inning, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 Sunday in a regular-season finale that determined post-season matchups.
Despite the defeat, Minnesota clinched its second straight AL Central title when the Chicago White Sox lost to the Cubs. The third-seeded Twins host No. 6 seed Houston in the first round starting Tuesday. Caleb Thielbar started the 10th and got one out, then was replaced by Sergio Romo, who allowed the run-scoring hits and a bases-loaded walk to Joey Votto while failing to get any outs.
“We started this thing probably two weeks ago where it was, hey, these games matter," Cincinnati starter Sonny Gray said. “These games have mattered for us for a long time and that’s the good part about it — we took the challenge face on, we took it head on. We’ve been playing meaningful baseball for a while now.”
