MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brian Dozier wrapped up a wild back-and-forth finish with the game-winning grand slam for Minnesota. After 3½ months of setbacks and slumps, the Twins finally have some momentum heading into the All-Star break. Dozier drove in five runs for the Twins, including the slam in the 10th inning on Sunday that delivered an 11-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. "We're playing good baseball. We all need a break," Dozier said. "But I think hopefully we can pick up where we left off." Jake Cave doubled to start the 10th against Matt Andriese (2-4), the ninth pitcher for the Rays, and moved up on a sacrifice bunt.

Duffy (5-8) threw seven scoreless innings, working around four hits and three walks while striking out eight to earn the win Saturday against the White Sox. The southpaw spun a quality start for the second straight rotation turn -- and fifth in his last seven assignments -- while being rewarded with a victory for this one.
