The Minnesota Twins completed a three-game series sweep of the Atlanta Braves with a 6-4 victory in Minneapolis. Kody Clemens led the offense with three RBIs, including a decisive single in the seventh inning that broke a 4-4 tie. Brooks Lee also provided an RBI single during that same inning.

This final victory followed a 4-1 win on Tuesday, in which Josh Bell hit a two-run home run and Ryan Jeffers contributed a two-run double. Taj Bradley earned the win after pitching five innings with seven strikeouts, while Yoendrys Gómez secured his 20th save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

The Braves’ series was characterized by difficulties scoring with runners in position and the ejection of manager Walt Weiss in the eighth inning following an argument over a check swing. Atlanta’s scoring was provided by Ronald Acuña Jr., Lane Thomas, and Ozzie Albies.
