In a ten-inning game against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Twins lost 4-3 after Jake Bauers hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning. Despite a two-run home run by Kody Clemens to tie the game, the Twins were unable to overcome the Brewers' defensive efforts.

The Twins won the series opener 9-5, highlighted by Austin Martin’s four hits and a dominant performance by pitcher Dean Kremer.
